It’s taken years, but we’ve tweaked this legendary Imperial IPA to perfection. Flavors of pine and citrus rind rush to greet the palate and are balanced by a biscuit-like malt backbone. A bevy of Bravo, Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, and Citra hops combine to make Odyssey a hop lover’s dream!

Bottle pours a clear medium orange/amber with a corse off-white head. Aroma is hoppy per the style, but a bit sour and woody. Flavor is again thrown off a bit by the papery or cardboardy. The maltiness is fairly sweet and the hops don’t seem to quite catch up. The ABV was apparent but would not have guessed quite this high. Was hoping for a bit more citrusy notes all around. A bit laid back for a Double. Thanks Jake65

Bottle: Clear copper/orange color with a large, bubbly beige head. Nose of strong citrus, grapefruit, malt, caramel, and sugary notes. Taste is more bready, malt, earth tones, trace citrus, and mostly floral hops. Reminded me of a juniper bush. Syruplike body. Thanks to DocLock for sending this one.

(Bottle 65 cl) Beautiful, clear, warm amber with a creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Fruity hop aroma. The body is surprisingly only medium and doesn’t really qualify as a Double IPA - the malt profile is a bit timid. Dry as a bone with somewhat soapy hop accents. Thanks to pineypower for this rare brew. 170207

Bottled. An orange beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with ligh hoppy notes, while the flavor is sweet grassy hoppy, on a medium to low malt background, leading to a dry end. The alcohol burns slightly in the throat. I’d like a stronger malt presence.

On tap at Mug’s Ale House - a servicable double IPA - woody, hop/herb nose with a hint of background malt - flavor is a bit sweeter than expected considering the hop-dominant aroma - a kind of orange marmalade flavor fights the grapefruity hops for dominance, resulting in a kind of imbalance, but a tasty experience none-the-less.
