The nickname was given to Odo, Earl of Kent and half brother of William the Conqueror, who was tried for defrauding the crown. A strong New Zealand Pale Ale. Toasted biscuit and rye malt flavours support a pine lemon hop crispness with a hint of vanilla.

Cask @ Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a small head. Mildly hoppy, it’s a fuller bodied pale ale.

Cask-conditioned on gravity at Just Ales, Wells 3/12/2016. Amber, with a small, off-white, head. A touch of floral hop, citrus fruit and sweet malts, before a dryish and boozy finish. Good.

Gravity cask@Ealing Beer Festival, London
Dark orange color, slightly hazy, small off-white head. Aroma has some fruits and pine. Medium-bodied. Flavor has also fruityness in the front, but then nice piney bitterness. Sweetish, nicely balanced (hops and malts).
