A tech-inspired dry-hopped India Pale Ale from America’s first craft brewery. In 1975, Anchor reintroduced the art of dry-hopping in America with the release of Liberty Ale. Continuing our rich tradition of innovation, we engineered the Odeprot, a custom vessel that continually filters the beer during the dry-hopping process. The flow-through hopping ensures maximum extraction of the essential oils and resins for big, hoppy flavors and aromas. We load up the tank with hundreds of pounds of hops to obtain all those tropical, pine forest and citrus zest aromas in our new ODEPROT IPA.

Bottle. It pours a rich orange color with a large, foamy off white head. The aroma is bright with flowers, peach, melon and eucalyptus. Hints of mint and citrus. The flavor has strong piney, eucalyptus bitterness. Peach, berries and citrus in the background. Full bodied with strong alcohol and heavy caramel malt that muddles the palate. This one has that weird Anchor hoppiness combined with heavy bitterness, syrupy malt and strong alcohol. Hard to like this one too much.

22 oz. bottle, pours an opaque cloudy with a small white head. Aroma is very earthy, with feet / BO, earthy hops and biscuity malt. Flavour has a strange earthy hop quality, with a feet / BO component, and a dry biscuity malt. Too earthy and feet-like. Not bad, but not my thing.

Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours coppery gold with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is pale stone fruit juicy. Deep inhale detects caramel, and also generates a tickly sensation near the tonsils. Hop burn? The foamy carbonation pushes the body to nearly full. Flavor starts stone fruit juicy, really, then there is some mild malt, and it’s followed by enough hop bitterness to stun a horse. That Odeprot continuous hopping "thing" is something Lagunitas needs to get its hands on, or they may lose their hop madness standing to Anchor. The final strong bitterness is not a dank thing. Just a bitterness thing. Really good front end, and the back end is just not related. But it’s great for hop and bitter. This is like getting two beers for one. Amazing. Love both ends.

Bottle from Elizabeth Station, Bellingham, WA
Beautiful copper color, generous head. The positive notes: gentle caramel flavor, smooth mouthfeel, mild sweetness. But it has a vegetable character that is very disturbing, leading into a final with chicory bitterness.
Not good.

Bottle - Caramel and orange peel. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Bitter orange and caramel. A bit too much caramel and unbalanced.
