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.

I found this 12 oz can in the singles display at the nearest HEB supermarket. Curiously they had it at a price somewhat higher than comparable 16 oz IPAs from other breweries. Let us see if it is worth it. I’m using my New Belgium globe glass whose brewery is in the same town as Odell. The pour is a clear, shiny orange body with a persistent top of absolutely white foam. The scent is dominated by tropical fruit with some citrus and grain working into the mix. I get a surprising jolt of hops at the front end of the taste, a different direction from the nose. There’s also oranges, lime, malt, cantaloupe, and a medium bitterness. The label says this is a west coast DIPA, interesting. A fairly tasty brew in any case.

Bottled in Texas. Poured a nice shiny gold. Brilliant hop floral nose blending onto a clean finish. Very good.

Bottled. Dark amber. Nice nutty malty tinge that finishes with the expected hops kick.
