Here's a classic IPA from Colorado that I first sampled from a bottle back in February of 2004. Here are those notes:
---------------------------------------
Cool, somewhat hazy golden color, with a bone-white head, attractive, big at first, though ultimately short-lived.
Aroma: oh, that's the stuff, like a deep breath in the heart of a primal forest, a crazy mess of spikey, sprucey, herbal hoppitude. Feels like it's dry-hopped. Piney, citrusy.
Continues on the tastebuds, bitter, yet sweetish and slightly fruity.
A bit light in body, a tad lacking in the malt department...it's all over, under and thoroughly about the hops (wish I could which ones). Taste never flags or sags, though that's for sure, if you want hops playing everwhere on your palate, though every inch your mouth, and ushering forth a case of the hop burps, Mojo is here for you.
Feels thicker on the mouth further in, sweeter, candyish.
Quite an interesting approach, bitter, yeah, but not too much, and still drinkable. Nice change of pace, though I think I like Hazed and Infused better.
--------------------------------------
That comment remains odd, since I rarely purchase any Hazed and Infused, anymore. But it's not 2004 anymore, is it? There's a whole lot of other beers out there. I did this one on tap for a while some time after this review, and it was very popular. I took it off because sales of Bell's Two Hearted Ale were taking a nose-dive in comparison. Back when I could only get so many people to try the hoppy stuff. Ah, those bygone days of yesteryear...
