MDRN IPA
Odell Brewing Company

Gold pour, ever so slight haze, finger of tight white foam. Nose is tropical.

Taste is citrus, just under ripe papaya, light kilned malt, bit of pineapple. Mouthfeel is medium and a touch creamy. Finish sees zesty lime sneak to the front.

Pours an effervescent & slightly hazed straw color with a thumb+ of pearl colored head. Above average head retention & lacing

S: Citrus, peaches & green melon

T: Follows the nose, also getting strawberries & dryness up front. Lime, passion fruit, & pomelo, plus dryness as this beer warms up. Finishes dry with green melon, citrus & white grapes

MF: Medium body, restrained carbonation, nice balance

Easy to drink, flavors pop

 

Aroma is huge citrus/lemon and tropical fruit/almost Nelson Sauvin. The flavor is citrus/fruit, malts, a hint of caramel sweetness in the middle and a spicy hop/lemon candy finish.

Slightly hazy golden color with a respectable and lasting white head with some nice lacing.
The aroma is grain and citrus and tropical fruit with a touch of fresh grass and pine.

The taste is grapefruit, light caramel base, hints of lemon, blood orange and other tropical fruits and grassy herbal hops with a touch of pine, a bit tart, moderate bitterness.
The body is light, good carbonation, crisp and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is a very tasty and refreshing brew, should go well with most foods, especially hearty fare like barbecue, well done

Look: Lightly hazy gold with a a small soapy white head; good retention and lacing.

Smell: White peach, lychee, pineapple, pear, green apple, lemon, pink grapefruit.

Taste: Pear, white peach, lychee, pineapple, green apple skins, candied lemon, pink grapefruit, blood orange. Tropical-fruity, citrusy; tastes sweet, but isn't. Nor is it bitter—well-balanced, crisp, just slightly sweet and slightly dry. Clean wet finish.

Feel: Bubbly, medium-light, feels oily upfront, but finishes clean and wet but not watery or thin.

Overall: This is an excellent and underrated modern style (hence the name) IPA. Bursting with tropical fruit notes; kinda took me off guard with how fruity it is. Similar to a lot of other modernized "no-coast" IPAs but a lot more fruits-forward than many. Highly recommended, this was a definite win from Odell.

 

 

Bought locally, best by June 23rd 2026.

It pours a clear pale gold with over a finger of foam. Retention and lacing are very good.

The smell is grapefruit citrus, bit of grass, hint of tropical fruit, some mild sweetness.

The taste is nice bitter grapefruit citrus, some grass, only a slight hint of tropical fruit. Bitter finish with toasted malt throughout but in the back seat, so to speak.

Mouthfeel is good, I would drink this again.

More akin to a pale than an ipa to my tastebuds due to the lower ibus/hoppiness with good mouthfeel; a subdued citrusy/fruity/juicy/tropical-kinda flavor and a clean, barely-there aftertaste. Very quaffable and slammable.
