In mid-September, the Odell Brewing team ventured about 20 miles north of the brewery to help harvest hops from Fort Collins Hop Acres. Within 24 hours, 600 pounds of fresh local Chinook cones were bathed in hot wort as it made its way from the kettle through the hop back. Hand Picked Pale Ale has a bright wet hop character and hints of lemon zest, pine and fresh cut grass. It’s a labor of love and a treat for the palate.

Enjoyed on tap at El Bait Shop. It's a clear gold with a thin white, lacy head. Aroma is citrus with herbal notes and a bit of cracker. Taste is citrus, herbal and grassy with some vegetal notes as well. Mouthfeel is disappointingly thin. One of the weaker efforts I've had from Odell although still tasty.

On tap at bulldog-uptown. Served in a pint glad. With a finger of rocky white head this brew is clear and IPA orange. Smells fresh. Lots of hops (west coast style/grassy, mango). Taste is plenty malty for the style with a nice rich biscuit malt backdrop with tons of hops. Upfront is fresh grassy with a resiny pine tree like finish. Overall a decent beer with since fresh aroma but turns into a resiny bitter bomb that doesn't catch the fresh easy drinking of many wet hopped beers.

On tap at the Falling Rock. Amber color, good head. Aroma was muted hops and minerals. Flavor was a bit of earthy hops and malt but felt dirty somehow. I wasn;t sure if it was the beer itself or the tap lines at the Falling Rock which don't seem to be cleaned often/properly in my opinion. Bummer of a beer experience and not sure whether to blame Odell or FR.
