IPA
Odell Brewing Company

 

From a stovepipe, as mother nature intended. Pours like a classic WCIPA, with a generous cap of foam on top. Light aroma, with a touch of pine and a little floral note. The malt doesn’t assert itself, leaving it crisp on the finish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the same vein as Bell's Two Hearted only this one has more dimensions to the taste. Fairly good IPA that's decent on the price. Recommended for hopheads looking to try America's classics.

 

 

Best IPA ever. Makes me proud to be from Colorado. Such a clean, clear IPA, incredibly well balanced.

 

 

If this were marketed as an English IPA, I’d rate it higher. It’s marketed as an American IPA. I’d like more hops bitterness.

19.2oz can served in a nonic pint glass. Dated (best by) 06/15/22. Wife bought it in Phoenix last week and brought it home in a suitcase.

Pours a mostly clear amber-gold with a big head and moderate to high carbonation. Smell is a little grain, a little grapefruit rind, some hay.

Taste is some grain and some end-of-life hops. Old hay, mustiness. Vague bitterness.

Mouthfeel is medium. Overall...it's not bad. I imagine it's better fresher. I probably wouldn't rate it if it wasn't clearly within the best by date.

 

 

 

Pours a bit cloudy, nice bright gold nice white, great lacing. Grapefruit, pine a bit of sweet malts. Taste is similar, great bitter finish, some sweetness. Medium bodied great carbonation, rising the whole time. When I think great IPA'S, I think 2hearted and Centennial, I guess I can ad Odells IPA to the short list.

 

Close to crystal clear pale, leaning dark side of pale. Clumpy white head with nice retention and some decent lacing.

Aroma is slightly piney, grapefruit, very minor fruity note and some toasty malt presence.

Taste confirms a nice grapefruit citrus, pine less present and the same toasty malt presence and just the slightest touch of sweetness.

Drink very easy, medium body, dry and crisp with a nice bitterness to bring it all home; has a nice resiny sappy feel to it.

If you like classic IPAs you’ll love this beer.

Live the color. Perfect balance of citrus/floral and bitterness. This is my go to daily.

 

 

 

Pours a deep gold with good head and lacing. Smell of herbal hops, citrus. You can tell it’s gonna - taste - herbal, piney, lots of bright citrusy hop, grapefruit and orange, super balanced and a little dry. This is my go to shelf IPA in this area and it’s everything I look for in the style. It’s a 95-96 on tap for sure. If you like IPA’s and have this option then buy with confidence and enjoy this fine beer, cheers!

22oz can poured into a a low ball

A- pours a clear golden color with a one-finger foamy white head that has good retention

S- classic west coast IPA aroma; citrus peel and resinous pine. Just a hint of underlying breast malt

T- zesty grapefruit and juicy orange up front, followed by resinous pine and some grassy notes. The finish gives a toasted malt undertone, with a linger of citrus and pine

M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel and finish

O- classic and well done west coast style IPA

Comes in a burnt golden orange color. Translucent with a slight haze. Creamy white head with great retention and lacing.

The aroma is sweet oily orange and grapefruit, a bit of caramel/bread crust, maybe a touch of soapy floral.

The flavor is pink grapefruit and sweet tangerine, oily citrus for days; slightly toasted bread with a hint of caramel, smacks with a slight sweetness on the finish. Moderate bitterness balances this out a little bit, but this isn't a particularly bitter IPA, either.

Medium-full body, moderate carbonation, oily and slick with a sticky residual finish.

A solid IPA. I wish it was a little drier and/or slightly more bitter, but the juicy citrus taste is very pleasant.

12oz can EB date 12/21/22 into a pint glass.
L: Pours clear light caramel w a 3/4" tight rocky off-white head w excellent retention, very good fine carbo until end of pint, spotty thick lacing w some light banding & sheeting.
S: Citrus, citrus pith & zest, light pine, sweet caramelized malts, berries.
T: Incredibly well balanced sweetness/bitterness, orange zest & pith, grapefruit, pine resin, light melon. Very simple & clean tasting.
F: Semi-juicy, bright, well balanced mouthfeel w a med-length lightly drying finish w a light linger. Very clean drinking.
O: A beautiful no-frills WCIPA with exquisite flavour & feel. Easy drinking, elegant tasting & citrusy. An old-school American IPA and one of the best I've had. It is world-class in it's style.

12oz can, best by 12/02/21.

Appearance: Mostly clear golden yellow with a massive white head. Lots of lacing to boot.

Smell: Floral, bready, citrus.

Taste: A lot like the smell, but orange citrus at the start, bready malt, then a long lingering citrus peel / grapefruit / pine bitter finish.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, light carbonation, sticky on the teeth.

Overall / Drinkability: Very hoppy, but quite enjoyable. I do need to have food with it though, as the bitter hops are tiring out my palate.

 

My favorite beer and the best American IPA that I've ever tasted. This is a great beer!

 

Pours a clear golden orange, moderate lacing. Nose is orange peels, light resin and pine. Sports some solid bitterness and a good amount of hop spice, even some clove notes along with them. Finish is dry and is a very refreshing drink. Glad to stumble into this one at the Omaha airport.

 

Ultimately a let down. Look was great with nice lacing. Smell was kinda flat. The beer felt more like water than anything else, even if there were notes of hops and lemon in the middle. Generally disappointed.
