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.

12oz can past the expiration date. Skunky, nasty green onion diesel. Not even drinkable, has aged terribly. Really bad.

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. .

My 12 oz can is stamped with the date of 10/26/22. How fortuitous since that is today. Time to make a pour and see if this NE style beer can differentiate itself from a multitude of others. My view in a globe glass is an indistinct, medium yellow liquid topped by a firm skim of wholly white bubbles, some lacing potential presenting itself. The nose is pleasant. Oranges, grapefruit and pine. But I’m here for the taste. Some orange zest, dry crackers, grapefruit, a tangerine sweetness and meadow. Better than average in a crowded field. And yes, it did leave some lacing.

sampled at Mishawaka Inn/Amphitheater. Was okay - believe I got a flat example of the beer, so hard to judge it correctly
