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.
