Odell Mdrn IPA

 Odell Mdrn IPA.

5.8 % ABV, 30 IBU, Odell Brewing, Ft. Collins, Colorado. 

Oh great, one of those names where vowels are omitted and we’re supposed to provide our own. What the heck is a Modran IPA anyway? Or is it Miodryn? Whatever.

Clear, bright yellow, slim white head.

In the nose: big citrus, largely lemony.

In the mouth: some basic bitterness at first, big bite on the palate. Light bodied, but full-flavored. I thought this would be sweeter/juicier, but I’m happily mistaken. Less malty than a classic IPA, not quite as bitter as a West Coast, considerably easy drinking. Not too shabby there, for a Maudroon IPA, whatever that might be…
