The Mountain IPA was pioneered by our friends and trailblazers Odell Brewing Co, combining the clean refreshment of a West Coast IPA with juicy hop aromatics and low bitterness. We dry-hopped this take on the style with Chinook and El Dorado to provide fresh flavours of pineapple and orange.

440ml can from the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky golden orange colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is grainy malt, wet dog. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a fresh, crisp, juicy pineapple, mango, light herbal, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

440ml can. Almost clear orange, slight haze, white head. Aroma of orange zest, pine, grapefruit. Taste of juicy citrus, orange zest, grapefruit, orange, pine, grassy, some sweet caramel maltiness, good bitterness though - more than a NEIPA but less than a true westie - crisp, clean. Medium bodied. Spot on for the style really.

Can. Beer Stop Dronfield. Excited that this is inspired by Odell’s IPA. Pours a lightly hazed medium gold, with a nicely thick CW swede. Nose has fresh hop cone. Super clean malt. Touch of spice. Xmas tree. Taste has a spicy rye sweetness backed up with chewy and sappy bitterness. Clean and mega easy medium with foamy carbonation. Lingering moderate bitterness to finish. Not quite the depth of Elusive Oregon Trail, but I’d be happy with a fridge full of this, nevertheless.
