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!

12oz bottle. Real good citrus and pine aromas stand out. Copper body with white head and good lacing. Good sweet sugary citrus hop flavor. Good refreshing brew on the palate.

This is my favorite Odell’s brew. An excellent balance of malt and hops. Full bodied and rich. This one would last the voyage across the ocean, unless it was all consumed before they got there.

12 oz. bottle shared by bellportbeer. Pours a clear orange-tinted gold with a linen white head. Very pleasant aroma of grapefruit. The flavor is likewise all about the hops, which is all about the grapefruit once again. I especially like that this beer has captured the fruitiness of the grapefruit and not the bitter white pith that so many other IPA’s seem to favor. Bitter at the finish, but by no means excessive. This is a thoroughly enjoyable IPA.

Bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry & swoopjones -- courtesy of swoopjones. Pours a hazy yellow-orange with a small diminishing creamy white head. Big-time hop aroma: Citrus and pee (in a good way) hops -- I love it, love it, love it! Flavour of resiny, citrusy hops -- wow, it tastes like it’s on draught. Nice long bitter finish. Medium bodied. Kudos to Odell’s, this is great stuff! It may be one-dimensional but who cares when it tastes this good -- again, I love it!

Ultra clear orange hue with whispy lacing on the head and glass. Aroma is super hops of floral and citrus with rich bread malts. Flavor of balanced malts and hops with thick chewy texture. The balance and hop presence is somewhere between a single an double IPA. Surprising malts, quite delicious.
