Odell IPA






















This India Pale Ale deserves a spot in the upper echelon of America's best sessionable IPAs.
Notes from April, 2008, from a bottle. Drinking it freshly tapped, right now:

"Ride 'em, Pachederm!

Hazy orange appearance, fulsome, fresh white head.

Fresh, vibrant, floral aroma...lively...orange, tangerine, mango....abso-lovely.

Tastin'...more of the same. Fresh, delicious, fruit aplenty. There's some mango in there, with the orange and grapefruit,
just gorgeous.

Very even-keeled, despite it's 7% abv, smooth, and tasty, and memorable.

An ideal IPA. I could grab this in a pinch with nary a quarrel."
