A new year-long IPA offering from Odell, an attempt to create some new style, a mash-up of West Coast and New England style IPAs?
All hazed-up, as all IPAs must be now, with a hefty offering of ivory foam, cast in a dullish yellow tone.
In the nose: Citrus and pine, with a touch of tropical sweetness. Pineapple, mango, passionfruit. Nice.
In the mouth: Hops hit the palate, make a splash, then shake it off. Crisp and refreshing. Medium-bodied. Just enough juice and bitterness to keep me happy. In fact, it's got plenty of it, and that makes me more than happy. Ends on a tidy, dry note. Leaves me wanting more.
This is Mountain Standard, a tribute to our backyard and the Rocky Mountain lifestyle. Hand-selected, modern American hop varieties build layers of complex hop flavors with juicy, tropical notes and bold, vibrant aromas. Join us as we help define the Mountain-Style IPA.
At 6.5%, this Mountain Style IPA is brewed with modern, American hop varieties which bring tropical hop aromas of pineapple, orange, and mango. To accentuate juicy hop aromas without using adjuncts or fruit, Mountain Standard IPA is triple dry-hopped. The result is an extremely drinkable IPA bursting with bright hop flavors, low bitterness, and a slight haze.
