Commercial Description:
Ready to buck convention? We took the traditional IPA, originally shipped from Englad to India in the 1700s, and made it bolder and more flavorful - American style. We've added new varieties of highly aromatic American hops to create a distinctive bitterness profile and an incredible hop character. Hop on, hold tight, and enjoy the ride!

This beer is good but the hop or yeast of Odell’s comes through. Odell’s definitely has a signature taste and hop character that is noticeable throughout but this is good, good and good. The best of the bunch...the wheat is good too.

You have to be fucking shitting me. 2nd time this night this dirty site has jewed me. Fucking a level below dominant. Can see why it got the gold, but I think silver is more in order. Thank you Odell for doing something worth doing.

12oz bottle, 12 07 07. Clear light orange yellow with a small off-white head, fading to a ring. Fruity nose of tangerine, grapefruit, and some floral hops. Light caramel backing it up. Flavor adds some resiny pine to the fruit character. This is one of those beers that seems to have "sweet hops," and I enjoy how the sweet malts meld so well together with the hops. Semi-dry finish with the bitterness peaking at a 4 or 5. No hint of alcohol noted. Light to medium body with light creamy carbonation. Very good IPA, and I suppose I’m OK with it getting a gold this year at the GABF--though there are better IPAs out there.

(bottle) hazy orange-amber. Abundant citrus and pine aroma. Flavor is also citrus with some pine, but pretty well balanced by the malt backbone.

Poured on a nitro faucet @ the brewery. Huge hop nose, piney and citrus. Pours white and settles blonde with a dense white head. Smooth mouthfeel, love the nitro pour, the poor mans cask ale. Good citrus hops with pine resins, good malt backbone. Solid IPA.

Pretty awesome beer here. Has enough hop aroma/flavor to be in the double category, but not quite enough alcohol. Hop aroma is more of a sweet fruit, but tons of citrus as well. Love it.

12 oz bottle. .. Citusry hoppy aroma w/ teeny hints of carmel. .. Brassy/copper color - clear w/ lt tan head. .. Citusry bitterness up front and throughout. Little bits of malt in the finish. .. Med body, med carb. .. VERY tasty IPA. Lots of "C" hops driving the citusry notes. Very well done IPA
