Odd Side Ales El Dankerino West Coast Style Double IPA.
9.5 % ABV, 77 IBU. Odd Side Ales, Grand Haven, MI.
Lightly hazy, bright golden hue, slim white head, leaving some lace.
In the nose: Dank, it is. Piney, resin-y, raw, and powerful. Huge hoppiness.
In the mouth: Aggressive hop bitterness leads the charge on the palate, and the flavors come spilling out. A blast of citrus and tropical fruit notes, turning dry with a quickness. Swift finish, bitterness quits quickly, too. Springs back into action with each new sip. Alcohol begins it's ascent and starts it's domination. Orange and grapefruit with a smack of tangerine. Ending sharp, as well as dry, and I like it that way.
A pity I finished these off so fast. I could really go for some more. This is a double IPA just the way I like it. I am increasingly fond of this brewery's efforts. Good beer, and, yes, you can drink it.
(And a good Lebowski reference never hurts!)
This west coast style DIPA packs a hoppy punch with a smooth, citrusy finish. Brewed with Citra, Amarillo and Simcoe hops, this is sure to please even the hoppiest hop head.
