‘The Mojo’ brings it with an explosion of citrusy, piney hop aromatics and big time fruit notes. Oh sweet & hoppy goodness! The pine character is huge; sappy and resinous, with grapefruit flesh and rind also prominent on the nose. Flavor begins big & citrusy, almost juicy, with grapefruit and tangerine flavors. These are washed to the background by a sticking bitterness that develops, grows, and hangs on and on. A lightly sweet malt backbone does its best to keep the hops in check, but hops are at the helm here as waves of hop flavors and bitterness dominate. Note breaths of pine sap, evergreens, and alcohol coming through the nose when breathing out. Overall, a big, beautiful IPA that’s interesting but manages to maintain drinkability. A great session beer for the hop fanatics out there that will work very well with a variety of Indian curry dishes.
We’ve been fans of the Boulder Beer Company for years now. Colorado’s first microbrewery celebrates a major milestone this year: their 30th anniversary! This puts them in an elite club made up of only a handful of breweries in the nation. These days, the big CO is known for a number of award-winning micros—just about all of whom owe some of their success to the Boulder Beer Company. Founded by two college professors, their primary goal was to produce beers in the traditional style of the robust European ales. The original brewery site was a small farm northeast of Boulder, and the brewhouse did in fact share space with a few goats. Five years later, they moved their one-barrel brewing system to their current facility in Boulder. Each year, they pay homage to their roots by hosting a big ol’ beer party called the Goat Shed Revival. This year’s is sure to be their biggest and baddest to date. Happy Birthday guys!
