Fort Collins, Colorado
APPEARANCE: 2.5/3
Gold color, surprisingly light for a double IPA. White head, big bubbles. Clear, steady stream of bubbles.
AROMA: 3.5/4
Tropical-floral, citrus hop aroma. Grapefruit, orange, passion fruit. Smells promising!
TASTE: 7.5/10
Hop/Malt Balance: 3.25/4: Lots of hop—grapefruit, citrus, hint of pine. Very malty, offset by hop bitterness.
Aftertaste: 2/3: Malty-bitter mix that lingers. Alcohol present.
Mouth-Feel: 2.25/3: Big. Alcohol. Very full, filling.

OVERALL: 2.25/3
Lighter than expected, absent the nuttiness common to many double IPAs. Alcohol needs to be masked better, but good.
TOTAL: 15.75/20–Pour Me Another
NOTES:
Matt: Nice—a bigger version of the Odell IPA, a nice addition to the already impressive Odell line. A bit boozy, needs better masking, but good.

Ben: Too much light malt, maybe a 40°-60° malt, roastiness would benefit, but okay. Not the best DIPA out there, but definitely not bad.
