Loose Leaf

Brewery: Odell Brewing Co.
Supplier: Beer52

Another core beer from the brewery with the best presentation; this is Odell's sessionable IPA. They market this as a regular drinking beer and, in keeping with Odell's theme, as a beer to take outside for camping, picknicks, etc. - thus they also sell it in cans. This one is made with different pale malt along with Bravo and Cascade hops. I served this chilled.
Appearance: Pale strae colour with a slight haze, the head is pure white and a little thin.
Aroma: Smells like lager malts with hints of grape.
Flavour: A  wave of smooth and understated mix of malt and grapy hops. 
Body: Quite light and thirst quenching. 
Aftertaste: It finishes with a slight bitterness coming from a mix of the hops and yeast, and a little pepper from the yeast. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, more like a hoppy lager, nice, refreshing and fruity to drink.

Price Range:  £2.98 (usually £3.50) for a 355ml bottle, I would definitely get it again as it's nice one to drink by the beach.

Food Pairings: The freshness would go well with a salad, something like a Salade Niçoise.
