Platform Beer Company, a Cleveland-based craft brewery that is known for its highly creative seasonal offerings, has launched a marvelous new imperial IPA that is designed to pay tribute to strong IPAs whilst also infusing them with cheery notes of playfulness and funky flavor.
Dubbed 'Odd Future,' this new imperial IPA offers a veritable feast of flavor sensations thanks to generous notes of grapefruit, citrus and lemon that are provided in the form of a smooth drinking experience that belies the robustness of the brew, which happens to come in at a bold 8.6 percent ABV (alcohol by volume).
By taking the company's long and unabashed history of appreciation for strong IPAs and combining it with new and creative interpretations of flavors, the 'Odd Future' imperial IPA manages to stand out as a truly innovative and satisfying beer.
