Odell To Release Runoff Red IPA
12 Dec 2014 --- On December 19, 20 & 21, Odell Brewing will celebrate the return of its winter-spring seasonal, Runoff Red IPA.
Runoff follows Isolation Ale as part of the brewery’s seasonal six pack series and just received the Gold Award for American-style Amber/Red Ales at the 2014 World Beer Cup. Runoff is named for the crisp, clean, Rocky Mountain snowmelt that is key to not only the brewing process, but also to the local ecology. Brewed with a robust malt bill, Runoff boasts a rich malt backbone and a bright garnet color. The brew is dry-hopped with a generous variety of American hops, giving the beer a fruity citrus aroma and a kick of grapefruit and pine hop character. Runoff is also available in the Winter-Spring Montage Variety Pack. The seasonal 12 pack also features the brewery’s flagships 90 Shilling and IPA, as well as the latest Roots Release brew, Wolf Picker Experimental Pale Ale. First introduced in early 2014, Wolf Picker is named in honor of the hop growing community and the harvesting rig many use. Each year, the brew is crafted with the same malt base but with new and unique varieties of hops. Some of the varieties are so new, they’re not even named yet. Wolf Picker 2015 features the experimental HBC #472 hop, and the recently reintroduced Comet hop. The two offer a complex and layered hop character that combines hints of grapefruit, lemon, and tangerine in the bright aroma with a refreshing tropical fruit and citrus hop flavor. Runoff Red IPA will be available throughout the brewery’s eleven state distribution footprint beginning in late December or early January. The Winter Spring Montage will also be available in select markets in late December or early January.
