12 oz. can from HEB in San Antonio. Pours a crystal clear deep bronze color with a khaki head and decent retention. Virtually no lacing. Sweet toffee aroma. Sweet caramel malt flavor with only a hint of bitterness in the finish. Reminds me of a bock beer. Smooth and clean, with very low carbonation. Almost flat. Medium-light body. I can't believe I've never had this before now, but I like it.

Can. Clear red/brown pour with a medium sudsy head that has fair retention. Lovely garnet hue when held to a light. The aroma is on the weak side with, malts, wet earth and caramel. The taste, like the aroma, has a caramel and toffee aspect that dominates throughout. There is also a trace of bitter pecan and walnuts. The palate seemed a bit on the thin side. Finished short with weak caramel. Overall: OK brew, a bit one dimensional. I expect more from a brewery like Odell.

To commemorate the first truly great weekend of the spring l am tasting Isolation Ale, obtained earlier today. Receiving the brew will be my Buffalo Bayou snifter and I see a grand gold-amber liquid topped with a steady, creamy, parchment-colored head. The scent is malt and something from the field. The taste builds on that, a caramel sweetness, wheat bread, plums and malt, all with a modest bitterness. Odell cranks out some pretty good beers.
