St. Lupulin by Odell Brewing Co.

St. Lupulin is an Extra or American Pale Ale by Odell Brewing Co. in Fort Collins, Colorado.  St. Lupulin is not actually a saint, but rather a character the brewery made up.  Lupulin is in fact real.  This compound found in hops contains aromatic oils creating much of the aroma and a resiny consistency containing acids for bittering.

St. Lupulin comes in at a slightly hefty 6.5% ABV.  When poured into your pint glass it gives off aromas of hops, citrus, orange and a slight bready malt note.  There is a delightful amber hue with a moderate light colored head. Medium carbonation gives way to a smooth body with hop and floral flavors.

I tried this out in Colorado, and bought a jacket.  It takes a bit to get me to buy clothes from a brewery, but St. Lupulin had what it takes.
