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.

Bottled at Mesa Verde in the A terminal at Denver International airport. An unclear orange beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of wheat and citrus - and so is the flavor - I can’t find any traces of banana. The body is watery.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 22 Sep 2007) Pale amber colour with brief white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with orange, apricots and grapefruit. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of orange peel, mandarin, grapefruit and harsh notes of citrussy hops in the finish. Balanced sweetness. Very nice hop character and not overly aggressive. Great balance.

Pale yellow color, small creamy white head. Grassy, a bit papery nose. Sweet liquerish palate, very grassy and hayish flavor. Imperial pilsner? A bit too simple = lots of sweetness and Sazz hops, not enough to impress.
