Mar 21, 2008 Great mix of IPA bitterness and slight fruity flavor flowing through it. Great unclear orange color with a light head. Tasty hops and one of my favorite IPA’s!

Mar 20, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours with a normal off-white head consisting of larger bubbles in the center and tiny ones near the glass. The liquid below is translucent, copper colored, and lively. I detect a unique and inviting aroma of flowers and sweet herbs, with some mysterious medicinal aspects in there too. The aroma is actually quite heady. The first taste has a blast of hop bitterness that typifies American IPAs, but a complicated experience quickly follows... The medicinal qualities emerge in the form of a sticky, syrupy mouthfeel combined with a slight alcohol burn. Hops tonic, anyone? I don’t taste much citrus, which in this case is a good diversion from most IPAs. There’s more of a focus on the resinous, herbal, and floral qualities of hops. Malt character seems sweet and nice, but the alcohol is not totally hidden and it threatens to throw off the balance. Otherwise a delicious IPA that I revisit once every few months.

Mar 19, 2008 Bottle from BeerandBlues2, poured the typical golden color, some amber hues, nice generous white head, good lacing. The aroma was grapefruits and some resinous notes. The flavor followed with an earthy hop in there and a bitter strong finish. I’ve been spoiled lately drinking Two Hearted, so this was hard to rave about, but it was a solid, nicely done IPA. Mouthfeel could have been fuller and heartier. Thanks, Brad.

Mar 17, 2008 Suprised to not see this in the top 10 much less top 50 as many of those on the list do not compare to the Odell’s IPA. Thick is right - intense hops supported by full flavor.

Mar 1, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with crosling (thanks!). Poured a deeper and clear golden color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of pine, ctirus (grapefruit with some orangs), and a little earty. Decent hop aroma. Tastes of ctirus, lighter earthiness, and some caramel.

Feb 23, 2008 12oz bottle. Filtered and golden hued. Finger width of bone white head. Good soapy zesty citrus nose. Slightly earthy. Medium to full bodied. Clinging head. Medium malts but a big hop palate. Moderate bitterness. Orange nuances mixed with resinous and soapy pine hop flavors. Great flavors and drinkability. I will be having many for of these in the future!

Feb 22, 2008 Thanks to lb4lb for the bottle. Pour is a golden copper with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt, fresh hops, citrusy grapefruit and orange. Quite bitter and clean. A bit of malt backing, but I was expecting more. ..not a bad thing. Medium bodied and dry. Good brew.
