Hopry Short # 9 | Odell | IPA | 7% ABV
India Pale Ale | Fort Collins, CO | Rating: 92/100
You know it’s a great day when you’re visiting family out of town and you find a great IPA just sitting in the house. While searching through the garage fridge, I noticed that off in the back were two Odell IPAs that had not been destroyed yet. I immediately grabbed one, headed inside for a glass, and jumped at the opportunity to do an impromptu “short.” After all, this is one of the better single IPAs I’ve had, and if you live in one of the states that carries it chances are you’ve seen it a hundred times. It was a beautiful day out and the beer lived up to it. There is a lot of orange and yellow haze that pours from the bottle and the aroma starts to sneak up out of the glass immediately. There is tons of beautiful citrus and dank pine in the nose and it delivers on the palate just as nicely. This is definitely one you should have in your fridge at all times, because for this price it’s pretty tough to beat.

What a beautiful backdrop. You seem to have alot of artistic flavor on your background shots. It really comes through on your short sessions. Makes it fun to stare at a bottle and glass for 3minutes.
Anyhow, there was an Odell event here and it was the first time they’ve been in PA. There’s talk of future distribution here. We shall see.

Thank you. The shorts are meant to be a little more impromptu than the regular videos. I take my camera when I travel just in case and this is what happens.

I agree. I just love the Odell IPA and I do have high hopes of it coming to Pennsylvania. Great review, I agree with the six pack on hand at all times comment. I can’t wait to have it on draft at home, now that would be terrific.
Keep up the good work, I too love the backround in this review.
