With my high regard of Mojo IPA, I take a walk into its stronger version. 10% ABV? You got it. On to the beer:
Beautiful to look at. Two finger's thickness of airy head and a crisp clean copper body in a chalice are stunning to look at. The lacing is excellent too. Now to stop and smell the roses...ok, I taking my expectations down a few notches. There are subtle notes of orange and tangerine, but the nose is erratic. Mixed in are lawn clippings, weed killer, and leaves. I'm not sure if I'm smelling Double IPA or gardening work.
it tastes strong, but the flavor itself doesn't pull its weight. There's a strong sense of alcohol tasted first, though it isn't obvious and is disguised with a little citrus. Add in some burnt plants, astringency, a bitterness that not only is quite strong, but sticks around in the aftertaste. Despite some flaws, the beer itself is slowly but surely consumed, as neither flaws become strenuous to overcome. It's a big bodied beer, with solvent alcohol hitting and cutting into the modest carbonation.
If a regular IPA is tasty, then its stronger double version must be even more tasty. The beer taster's fallacy has struck again.

22 oz. Bomber
Pours a pretty nice golden yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice one-finger off-white head, which leaves some sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, kinda malty, with some citrus/pines. The taste is hoppy, malty, citrusy, with some pine notes. Full Body, ABV hidden pretty well, nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, a nice little brew.

Boulder Beer - Mojo Risin' Double IPA. 10% ABV. 3oz sample pour in mini mug.
Look: Clear, vibrant golden bodied.
Smell: Floral hops, slight bitterness, light tropical fruits, some maltiness.
Feel: Mild carbonation, light bodied.
Taste: Slightly bitter from hops, light tropical, citrus, and malts.
Overall: Had at the Firkin Fest 2016 in Ashland, KY. Another beer and brewery I have not heard of, so I gave it a shot. Seems like a good example of a Double IPA, mild bitterness, along with fruit, earth, and malts. Nothing overly special, but not to be overlooked either.
