Drumroll

Tap to rate

Drumroll is a hazy pale ale with a tropical, citrus-inspired hop character, bold and juicy in the glass. Its hop blend changes every year, so each release is a small surprise, built around hero hops and the brewery's house yeast. It comes in at 5.0% ABV and 51 IBU from Odell in Fort Collins, Colorado, where beers are centrifuged rather than filtered.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Drumroll

◎ Appearance

Drumroll presents a hazy golden body with pronounced turbidity from the house yeast and intentional non-filtration process. A dense, creamy head forms and persists with fine Schaumkleiden clinging to the glass. The suspension catches light with a soft, diffuse glow characteristic of the New England pale ale style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical stone fruit—mango and papaya—layered with citrus pith and a hint of white grapefruit. Edelhopfen character dominates the profile, with subtle floral undertones from the house yeast contributing a clean, slightly herbal backdrop. A touch of sweet Malz grounds the composition without overwhelming the hop-forward presentation.

◐ Taste

The palate enters juicy and vollmundig, with immediate tropical and citrus notes that develop into a soft, round mid-palate. The 51 IBU bitterness arrives smoothly in the middle and carries through to the finish without harsh edges, balanced by the low ABV and the brewery's house yeast character. Malt sweetness remains restrained, allowing hop expression to remain the focal point throughout.
