Odell Wire Walker West Coast Style Double IPA.
8% ABV, 50 IBU, Odell Brewing, Fort Collins, Colorado.
Mostly clear, but not clear enough, with a bright golden hue, large, lace-leaving head.
In the nose: pungent, tropical tones and a whiff of citrus. A bit oily. Not really fitting a West Coast style so far…
In the mouth: bitter at first, highly hoppy and showing off the high ABV. More oiliness on the palate. Medium-bodied, a touch dry, but still a far cry from what I expect from the description.
This one is simply “okay” and will not entire my pantheon of favorite double IPAs. It is very confused, and not really as balanced as it claims. Or, maybe “balance” is not what I value most in this style?
