Hi there. I have really been thinking about Bodhi lately. I'm primarily a brewer of NEIPA's, but want to brew something different. I had my first Bodhi when it was draft only back in 2014. That beer opened my eyes to what a great DIPA can be. Back then, Bodhi was a somewhat hazy (not murky) DIPA that was tropical on the nose as well as the taste. It also had an assertive bitterness, but didn't negate the thick tropical flavor. Since Columbus Brewing started bottling Bodhi, it hasn't been the same. It is now crystal clear and has lost alot of the tropical flavor I loved so much and replaced it with more dank bitterness. I'm trying to recapture what I had back in 2014.
I've dug through a few threads on here about Bodhi, and took pieces of recipes and came up with what I have below. The thing I didn't like about those threads, however, was that nobody really posted results. So I hope to get as close as I can, and finally post something that people will enjoy and get to taste a beer from the past. Any tips, info, advice, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
