Lupulin Libations

The name says it all.

Lupulin glands are the tiny little yellow pockets of goodness in a hop cone that contain some essential ingredients for aroma and flavor in beer.

A libation is an alcoholic beverage, and of course beer fits into that category.

Lupulin Libations is dedicated to everything beer. I offer you a chance to have an experience with beer through my organized tasting sessions.

Beer Brief #6 - Odell Avant Peche


Brewery - Odell Brewing Company, Fort Collins, Colorado

Beer - Avant Peche

Style - Blended Imperial Porter (From the bottle label: 45% ale with peaches added, 19% ale aged in oak barrels, 36% ale aged in oak barrels with peaches)

ABV - 9.5%

Color - Opaque black with a tan head

Aroma - Milk chocolate, a little barnyard, slight vinegar

Flavor - Chocolate, coffee, sour apricots, earthy funk

Verdict - Quite enjoyable, although I definitely wouldn't have guessed there were peaches in it if the label didn't tell me. The brewery website mentions wild yeast used in the creation of this brew, which really comes through.
