As the third beer in my IPA round-up, I popped open some Mojo Risin’ Double IPA from Bolder Beer Company.  This is the first beer I’ve had from the folks at Boulder Beer, so I headed over to their website to check them out. It is a fun site that’s worth a look around if only to listen to the sounds. Mojo Risin’ is a double IPA version of Boulder’s year round Mojo IPA with a ton (well, half ton, literally) of extra malt and “double dry hopped with Amarillo hops”

Mojo Risin’ Double IPA pours a cloudy gold with some orangish/brownish color working in there and a white head. There is a strong citrus and slightly sweet aroma.  The taste is malty to start with a pleasantly bitter aftertaste. Overall, the mouthfeel is creamy and full bodied. At 10% abv, you know there’s a ton of malt in there, but the hops are amped up to provide a good balance.  I can’t find any info on how many IBUs there are. This is a really fun beer that takes most of the way through a pint to explore all the flavors.  The alcohol is present, but not overpoweringly so. Ultimately the citrus from the hops is what stays with you. I enjoyed it quite a lot. If I’m not careful, these double IPAs may become one of my favorite styles.
