Odell Rupture Fresh Grind Ale. 6% ABV. 36 IBU. Odell Brewing Company, Fort Collins, CO.Lightly hazy, bright orange/golden hue, small, but lasting, ivory head. Looking great.
In the nose: fresh and zesty, bold and juicy. Big citrus. Popping with orange and grapefruit.
In the mouth: Bursting with hop flavors. Lean bodied, cracker-y malt base below. Hops give their all on the battlefield of the palate. Oily, resinous, ever-so delicious. Bitterness is on the low end. Juicy hangs high. Quite tasty. I could drink this over and over again. (Which I did, as this is once again, the final can from a six-pack.)
Rupture was born out of our obsession with getting the most out of each and every hop. In fact, we built a machine in our brewery to incorporate a unique fresh grind process. By grinding the whole hop, we "rupture" the lupulin inside - releasing the oil that gives the beer its flavor. And what we grind that day, we use that day. Leaving you a beer that's fresh, aromatic, with an unparalleled bright, hoppy character.
