Mountain Standard is Odell's mountain style IPA, with tropical aromas of pineapple, orange and mango, low bitterness and a slight haze. It is triple dry-hopped with Cashmere, Sabro and Strata at 6.5% ABV and 39 IBU, and oats are part of the grist. It has since moved into the year-round lineup. Odell is based in Fort Collins, Colorado.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical stone fruit—pineapple and mango lead, accompanied by a clean orange zest. Subtle oat and grain notes provide a soft, biscuity undertone that grounds the hop-forward character without overwhelming it. The aromatic profile is fresh and well-balanced, free from harsh resinous notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a soft, fruity sweetness dominated by orange and tropical notes, quickly settling into a crisp, sessionable middle. Bitterness is restrained at 39 IBU, creating a gentle counterpoint rather than a dominant force. The oats contribute a subtle smoothness and light body that keeps the beer drinking easy and refreshing.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
