On cask at the Andyman event at Bob’s Bar on 11/30. Hazy amber pour with a medium beige head. Aroma is dank malt and tropical fruit, along with some plastic and urine. Flavor starts with a watermelon character, then moves to plastic before a grassy and citrusy hop finish. Kinda odd, and not on par with the rest of the Hop Odyssey beers. Oh well, the Black IPA is back next month!!!

Draft. Big hoppy beer, really on par with Hop Slam and other fairly sweet IIPAs. Nice balance of pine and citrus with fairly sweet biscuit malt. Better than most in this category and way tastier than most candle inspired Christmas brews.

On draught at Bob’s Bar during the CBC Christmas party on 12/10/2010. The beer is a slightly hazy copper-amber color with a medium thin and somewhat foamy off-white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Hoppy aroma with some sweet spice notes. Medium body with flavors of spiced hops, pine, ginger and malt. The finish is hoppy with a lingering spice aftertaste. As billed this is a hopped up Christmas beer, and as with most other entries in the Hop Odyssey it is good.
