Colorado Mojo IPA Tasting

I went out to Silvercreek earlier today for their Appy-Hour, and decided to try one of their drink specials:


Colorado Mojo IPA

Their specials list had a few beers I haven't heard of before, which is what I've been trying to drink lately. I went ffor this IPA pretty much because I've been into IPAs and PAs lately.

Date: April 4th, 2008

Color: It was pretty light if I remember correctly, more of a golden orangish.

Clarity: Just barely cloudy. Not entirely clear, but not much cloudiness.

Aroma: Considering it was an IPA, I was surprised at how little aroma there was. I could smell some hops, but it wasn't much of anything.

Head: It was a good head. There wasn't a solid amount to start out with, but not a ton or anything. What I was really impressed by was how long in hung around. It retained the head very well.

Tasting Notes: It was just so-so. The side of the bottle said it used Amarillo hops which I like so I was excited, but I just didn't get that much hop flavor from it. Sure it was there, but it wasn't as overpowering as I've had from other IPAs. It also had a bit of a funkiness that just sort of hung around with you after a sip. Not bad tasting or anything, but the malt just kind of hung in your mouth, and it wasn't what I really liked. I would have preferred a smoother finish.

Rating: 3/5
