Odell Mountain Standard IPA

Mountain Style IPA? I tried to look it up and apparently it's something Odell, a Colorado brewery, made up. Anyway, Mountain Standard IPA pours a hazy lemonade-y hue, with a fluffy, two-finger bright white head. According to their website, their goal was to produce favor notes without adding an adjuncts or fruit. They say they achieve this by "triple hopping", which is when you add different types of hops during different stages of the brewing process. At 39 IBUs, it's not especially bitter, but there is evidence of different hop varieties, piney, grapefruit-y; tropical fruits; citrus, caramel and some breadiness. A little bit or orange peel and lemon zest too. Well balanced. An easy 9 on the IGB IPA scale.
