Review – Boulder Mojo Risin’
From Boulder Beer Co. – MoJo Risin’ Double IPA is a souped-up, extreme version of the one and only MoJo India Pale Ale brewed by Boulder Beer Company. Taking the MoJo IPA recipe to the next level, the brewers added 50% more malt and twice the amount of Amarillo hops. The double dry-hop addition elevates the grapefruit-like aroma and flavor to an outrageous intensity, while the added malt raises the alcohol level from 7% all the way to 10% by volume.
Appearance: Pours a beautiful amber with a thick creamy 1 inch head. It’s translucent with a small amount of RISIN’ bubbles.
Aroma: Grapefruit and orange zest and light amounts of bready malt.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Taste: Starting out, the beer comes across as sweet, then mildly bitter and citrusy hops roll across your tongue. The bitterness lingers, but it is not overbearing. I definitely tasted caramel malts, and citrus flavors of orange, grapefruit and lemon.
Mouthfeel: Sticky and fizzy.
Overall: A fantastic version of a Double IPA. I can’t say a bad thing about this beer. I can’t get the Doors out of my head, but that is not the beers fault.
