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.

4 ounce at the Denver location - very sweet, especially for the abv - flavors of milk chocolate and peppermint oil - a bit of coffee character - I have a suspicion that this is just Lugene with mint in it, but I could be wrong - makes me want to revisit that beer, as I think I rated it pretty highly - just so sweet.

Tap at the Denver location - hazy gold - medium dry, with hints of back end sweetness - moderately bitter, with some rustic graininess and moderate phenolic spice - has a bit of grapefruit pith hoppiness on the tail end that is a little unwelcome to me, but otherwise fairly enjoyable.

12 Fluid Oz can at my daughters place on 17th December 2021. Poured slowly into a large Leffe chalice, it's hazy golden yellow with a fast fading white wisp and collar. Nose holds tropical fruit esters, grapefruit and oranges maybe (it is pretty cold, as I've only just brought it out from the fridge). Taste also fruity and on the bitter rather than sweet side. Gets sweeter in the taste as it warms in the glass, and piney notes appear aroma wise, to compliment the citrussy original aroma. This is an easy drinking IPA with a pleasant blend of flavours that don't attack your senses with anything too overpowering or controversial.

12 oz. can in a trade with tfontana, thanks Tom. Aroma is melon, orange and bread. The flavor is the aroma in a mild muddled kind of way. It does show a little bit of juice. Overall, it’s well executed but a very “standard issue” type of IPA.
