Boulder Beer Mojo Risin

ABV 10% Imperial IPA

Fruity explosion on the nose with nice floral notes. Big malty base that balances out the piney notes. Nice full mouthfeel with a sweet tangy finish. So damn good.

IPA

7% ABV

Aroma is hoppy, orange citrus and lots of belgian yeast. Taste is bitter with a touch of sweet and a nice breadiness. A very smooth texture, faint fruitness from the yeast comes back at the end and plays nicely with the hops. Lingering bitter finish. Not bad, loving the label.

Good Beer turns a year old!

 

Last year Good Beer opened it’s doors and New York welcomed it with wide arms. Since then they have provided the East Village with awesome brews and great service. 

Congrats to David and the whole crew at Good Beer!

I had reviewed this brew about almost a year ago today (november 8th, 2010) you can find the review by clicking here

Edit: My palate has changed, i’ve gotten into funky sour beers as of late — Southern Tier’s Pumpkin is still on my top pumpkin beers but this one has made it up there as well.
