Doug Odell’s admiration for the British brewing culture has led him across the pond - a lot. In 2008, Doug landed at Thornbridge Brewery and in the company of kindred brewing spirits. This visit led to a collaboration brew at Thornbridge in 2010. Fast forward to 2012 to find the two breweries at it again, this time at Odell Brewing. Pond Hopper Double Extra Pale Ale is the love child of this international brewmance. Brewed with English malts and American hops, Pond Hopper brings together the best ingredients each country has to offer, balancing a subtle sweet malt character with hints of mango and peach hop flavor. It pours a rich golden color with citrus and ripe melon essence in the nose. No matter which side of the pond you’re on, here’s to good beer and good friends. Cheers.

Bottle at Duke’s Brew & Que, Hackney on 11 January 2014. Poured a hazy orange with a large, fluffy off white head. Wonderful fruity aroma with notes of tangerine, mango, peaches and some honeycomb. Malty, toffee-like flavours, balanced very nicely with gentle citrus hops. Finish was biscuity malt, peppery hop and syrupy fruit. Great double IPA, held the balance nicely and the alcohol complemented it nicely.

75 cl bottle @ RIP camp
Aroma is sweetish and heavy with caramel, hoppy notes and resin. Foamy palate. Flavour has mineral notes, caramel, fruity hops and some apricot. Decent.
