Odell Brewing Drumroll APA

Robust head. Dank, tropical aroma with an ashy note. In the flavor, tropical and citrus fruit dominate—a Limoncello bite, with grainy malt backbone that stands up well to the bitterness and juicy flavor. Easy sipper. Great sweet-bitter balance. Very approachable.

**Aroma:** “Presents a hops character that’s mostly floral with moderate esters, citrus fruit aromas with some stone fruit, and pine hops in the background. Some sweet caramel buttery notes in the malt. Hops aroma drops fairly quickly.” **Flavor:** “Earthy, grassy hops flavor with a touch of spicy. Bitterness is here but not pronounced. Finish is as much ester as it is hops. Reasonable malt backing provides medium sweetness against the prominent fruity hops profile. Finishes dry with a nice bitterness. Peach and orange hops flavor is more subdued than the aroma promises. Body is full, but high carbonation lightens body. Sweet malt flavors linger.” **Overall:** “A nice example of a less hops-centric take on the style. Tasty beer, easy drinking, and not too assertive. Nicely done representation of the style—balance is appropriate as is lingering bitterness. Very nice, on the sweeter/maltier end of the American pale ale spectrum.”

Aroma: “Lemon and orange peel with a touch of pine at first and then intense mango and pineapple aromas from the hops. Some grassy and herbal, slightly dank notes appear once the initial fruit dissipates. Subtle light bready malt background.” Flavor: “Light, clean, simple body. Hops bitterness slightly overpowers the malt and lingers. Same citrus and pine as in aroma. Aftertaste is dry with a moderate lasting of hop spiciness. Overall: “This beer pushes the bounds and rides the edge of the IPA style now that IPAs are embracing lower perceived bitterness levels. Still, the earthy and spicy hop profile is complex, and a moderate carbonation gives it a good bite. Easy drinking and refreshing.”
