Notes / Commercial Description:
A mystical legend echoes in our brew house—that of St. Lupulin (loop-you-lin), the archetypal hophead. He devoted endless summers to endless rows of hops, tending to the flowers and the beloved resin within—lupulin. Extraordinary oils in this yellow resin provide this dry-hopped extra pale ale with an undeniably pleasing floral aroma and clean, crisp finish. One sip of this seasonal summer ale and you too will believe.

Pours out cloudy amber. Head is a little fizzy and off-white. It doesn't stick around very long. Just a few spots of uneven lacing here and there.
The nose is very sweet and tropical. Pineapple and mango mostly. There's also a lemon zing to it.
More bitter than the nose would lead you to believe. Still get a tad sweetness from it but those citrus fruits dominate. This one is straight forward. Its delicious to say the least.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied a slick. Feels wet and a bit oily. Carbonation on the medium side.

Solid Odell Brewery offering: dry hopped extra pale ale, seasonal summer, with 46 IBUs. Pours golden amber with a 1/2” head that dissipates soon enough; nice lacing to finish. If you’re looking for a solid warm-weather beer that’s not-too-hoppy, not-too-bitter, this is a good brew for you. It’s “all there”, but nothing in-your-face. This would clearly be a good “all-day” choice as well, and solid with burgers and more. I had this from a 12oz can; would really like to try from the tap. 6.5% ABV.

12oz can, best by date is 3 months from today, served in a snifter glass. Not sure what their bottling code practices are. Pour is slightly darker golden orange body, thick one finger frothy white head, good retention, lots of lacing. Smell is faint grapefruit, a bit of lemon, moderate toasted grain, leafy resin. Flavour is a clean grapefruit and herbal resin, sort of floral/leafy, bit of toasted grain, light caramel. Standard pale ale flavours, with a nice medium body, refreshingly mild-moderate bitter herbal resin, otherwise a very solid drinking pale ale.
