In the Pacific Northwest where rows of hops stripe the landscape, it is said that a thick morning fog will fetch the Ghost Drifter. Hops farmers have stories of hearing the muffled snort of a distant horse in their fields. Attempts to discover the equine were always futile, but often the farmer would find unshod hoof prints near the hops with a few hops flowers freshly plucked lying on the ground. It is thought that the horse carries a rider with a keen love of hops. Odyssey has researched these reports and discovered that the Drifter seems to prefer Centennial, Chinook, Cascade, and Willamette hops. This American Pale Ale is our salute to the rider of the fog. Hops added throughout the brew process and into the fermenters exemplify the APA beer style well. Poured into a glass, the hops aroma will drift into your nostrils before your lips touch the glass. The hops flavors will wake up the taste buds, but even with all the hops, there is very little lingering bitterness. This is a session beer.
