    Full Sail IPA

    Name – Full Sail IPA
    Country – United States
    Type – American IPA

    Appearance – Poured a very clear amber color that had a decent sized white head.  It had a decent amount of lacing to it.

    Smell – Piney hops dominate the nose with some citrus notes in the back.

    Taste – Pine hops are at the forefront of this one with minor citrus tastes.  Really not a whole lot going on with the malts.  Just hops and hops.

    I’ll be the first to admit I like hoppy beers but this one just really didn’t have much of anything else besides the piney hop flavor and smell to it.

    Overall Grade – D+

    Mojo Risin Double IPA

    Name – Mojo Risin Double IPA
    Country – United States
    Type – American Double IPA

    Appearance – Pours a clear amber color with a little white head that stuck around for a bit and left some lacing on the glass.

    Smell – Citrus hops with a slight caramel malt backing to it.

    Taste – Quite a big alcohol bite to it.  It had some nice grapefruit hop flavors and slightly sweet malts but the alcohol kind of took one’s concentration.

    An okay DIPA here but the alcohol burn wasn’t masked to well with this one.  It’s not so bad that it makes it undrinkable but definitely over powers the other flavors of the beer.

    Overall Grade – C-
