Description
Founded in 1989, Odell Brewing was started by Doug Odell, his wife Wynne, and his sister Corkie. Thirty years later, the culture of family and collaboration still thrives fostering a brewery full of beer-centric people. It is this passion for beer that inspires Odell Brewing to create quality, hand-crafted and innovative brews. Odell Brewing is committed to providing exceptional service to its customers while making positive contributions to their co-workers and community through its outreach and charitable giving programs. Odell Brewing was named the “Best Medium Sized Company to Work For” in Colorado in 2015, is the 34th largest craft brewery in the United States, and recently sold the majority of the company to its co-workers (now co-owners) in a combined management buyout and Employee Stock Ownership Program.

Bought locally, best by June 23rd 2026.

It pours a clear pale gold with over a finger of foam. Retention and lacing are very good.

The smell is grapefruit citrus, bit of grass, hint of tropical fruit, some mild sweetness.

The taste is nice bitter grapefruit citrus, some grass, only a slight hint of tropical fruit. Bitter finish with toasted malt throughout but in the back seat, so to speak.

Mouthfeel is good, I would drink this again.

Draft at Oak & Steel in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is an opaque black brown with a 1 ½ inch foamy khaki head. The aroma is roast malt, soft mineral, and perhaps a hint of cream. The taste is traditional Dry Irish Stout, the roast, toast, soft sugar cane sweet and finishes dry with more roast and some mineral. The palate is medium bodied, soft natural carbonation and the crisp dry mineral finish.

Bought locally.

Pours a clear pale gold with over a finger of foam that sticks around. Some lacing.

The smell is corn, some caramel malt, slight hops presence.

The taste is grainy with big notes of corn, somewhat sweet but does have a light bitter side note.

Fairly light bodied, reasonably good taste, I would not, however, drink this again.

On draught at The Corner Office Restaurant & Martini Bar during GABF Week. Clear pale golden color with a medium thin white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of malt, citrus and hops. Light-bodied with flavors of roast malt, citrus and mild grassy hops. The finish is clean and fruity with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

The aroma is in the can are resin with a little bit of citrus and stone fruit. In the glass it changes to more balanced of the same qualities and add in a bit of MJ. flavors are similar to nose, with good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Mildly bitter finish.
