Odd Future
Platform Beer Co.

 

Odd Future brewed by Platform Beer Co. With an ABV of 8.60% This Imperial IPA pours out of a 19.2oz can into a pint beer glass. The color is a deep golden amber color with a nice white head. There is also a nice amount of lacing to this brew, it sticks to the side of the glass well. The smell is rich with hop bitterness mixed with earthly grains an malts. You also pick up on a slight sweetness in the smell as well. So far Odd Future is a nice inviting IPA. Now for the taste it Bold with flavors, you first pick up on the hop bitterness. Then the sweetness mixed with the earthy grains and malts ties it all together. This is a well put together Imperial IPA. There is nothing overpowering about this brew, it is super smooth. It is really hard to pick up on the 8.60% ABV in the taste, it is just that smooth, but bold with hops.
This brew would go nice with dinner or on a cool nice out. The mouth feel is Bold , Rich, Clean, Smooth and Refreshing. Overall I am going to give Odd Future a solid 4 out of 5. Platform Beer Co.did a super nice job with this Imperial IPA. I would definitely look this brew up again given to opportunity to.

I got some of these what I think is very fresh. I actually think it has deteriorated slightly in the six days I've had it.

It pours beautiful golden with lovely fizz. The aroma is a strong, hoppy stench. The taste is just what you want in a big American IPA. Enough malts to make room for tons of hops. The finish is big and boozy. It is an extremely satisfying brew.

Recommended. If you called BS on my opening freshness comment, you got that right. This can clearly says it was canned three months ago. It totally still works and I'm an idiot.

 

12 oz can, born on 4/21/22, poured into a teku glass at 40 degrees F:
L - almost amber with a soft white head that lingered
S - cantaloupe, pine
T - cantaloupe, pine, resin
F - light mouthfeel with medium carbonation
O - very nice with a bit of a kick

19.2oz can. Poured out a cloudy, hazy, golden orange color with small, off-white head of bubbly foam. It left sticky rings of lace on the glass. It smelled of pineapple, grapefruit, toffee, caramel and some resin. Sweet tropical fruit punch with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.

I got a 6pck of cans of this beer from my local meijer store . It poured a clear copper with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had floral and hemp hop notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with mild stone and apricot base with hemp hop finish. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

 

Perfectly clear golden color with a white head, this is the picture of a WCIPA. Nose is dank citrus, with grapefruit, passion fruit, and orange most prominent.

The same flavors are present and delicious on the taste, and there’s a nice resiny pine bitterness at the back of the palate. Delicious stuff. The mouthfeel is crushingly dry, perfect for the style. I could drink this for days.

 

I enjoy DIPAs. This is a special Imperial IPA. The balance of 75 IBU and 8.6% ABV is a pleasant kick. The citrus taste is delicious. A great brew for any occasion.

 

This can is severely under carbonated and basically flat. I've heard this type of thing happens a lot here. Drain pour.

Like what the hell does this place even exist for. All I hear is QC issues. Now they're laying off their staff and Haze Jude is brewed in New Hampshire?

Complete and total shit brewery. Awful representation of Cleveland.

Im sure when this is in fact good its good but I have no need for this place and you can absolutely find one as good as this could dream of and better.

I did try this again in 2023 just after the closing and the specific can was good, a boring double but no quality issues I found. Buy Bodhi instead or something. Good riddance.

 

Canned on 2/22/22. 12oz can poured into a tulip.

Pours golden with great clarity and transparency; small off-white head that fades leaving decent retention and lacing. Great color.

The aromas have a nice blend of citrus and tropical fruits although it's probably more on the tropical side. Some crackers and bread. Some caramel. Some malts.

The flavors are nice. More citrus and tropical notes. The citrus is more prevalent in the flavor department. Grapefruit leads the way. Some pineapple as well. More caramel. Some pine. Subtle hints of black pepper in the mix. Really nice hop flavors. Solid bitterness. Malts do their thing while ultimately taking a backseat. Finishes dry. Alcohol goes unnoticed.

Mouthfeel is nice. It's full-bodied with moderate to active carbonation. It's sharp, fluffy, smooth and slightly creamy.

This is a really nice DIPA. It's a classic and traditional example of a West Coast IPA/DIPA. Nice hop aromas and flavors. The craftsmanship is on point. Well done. I really like it.
