Pond Hopper is a very tasty collaboration between Odelle's and England's own Thornbridge Brewing. It's a stylishly smooth Double Extra IPA that weighs in around 8.9% yet has very little boozy taste. The collaboration among the two breweries on different continents is dictated by the presence of English malt an American hops. When first giving a sip the first I got was of honey and hoppy/flowery goodness. It has that perfect deep golden IPA color that is present in bigger IPAs. There is a nice nutty and vanilla aroma that hits your nose which compliments the sweet malty taste that really stand out. As is sipped more an more I noticed the citrus flavors coming out from the hops which gave it a real brightness which then mellows into the aforementioned caramel malt flavor. The taste lingers for a while and hits of caramel really start to stanbd out as it warms in your glass. Cheers to that. Git it.cheers
