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.

tap at the brewpub - Pours light amber and laces nicely. It has a mild caramel malt aroma. The flavor is light caramel malt with some mild hops that are mainly in the finish. It’s thin and underwhelming.

tap at the brewpub - Pours hazy yellow with a nicely lacing white head. This wheat beer is very light with the usual yeasty citrus notes, mild, sweet flavor, a touch of hops, and that’s about it. It’s alright, but that’s about it. Basic.

Very nice brew as an extra from Beer&Blues, thanks Brad. Its all black with a small light tan head that leaves an average lacing. Was not going to rate it but I have been slowly enjoying this all evening. My bottle says 8.2% but the label is exactly the same (stamped 2/2008). Aroma is medium ashy roast and some light bittered chocolate; just a hint of bittered piny hops. Taste has a bit of prune, sweet dark malts and a short hint of bitterness at the end. Just working so perfectly right now for me, not overbearing, prefect for sipping, strong but not overly aggressive. The mouthfeel is a bit too stingy and mineral but otherwise enought body to be felt but not thick.
12oz bottle, a few pours into a 3oz snifter, just for fun.

2010-04-10, tasting at Papsø, 6-4-6-4-13=33
Hazy amber color; creamy head. Nice but mild aroma, caramel and fruity hops, a bit earthy. Simple but reasonable caramel flavor, with residual sweetness, sweet nuts, correct bitterness.
2007-09-20, bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007, 6-3-6-3-11=29
Hazy light amber color. Some malt and hop aroma, maybe a bit fruity, and some grass. Simple flavor, with light caramel, dry, some sugar, very light apple peel, quite strong (or correct) bitterness. Too simple.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Golden color. Hoppy aroma, with some grass and manure, a bit fruity and resiny, not strong but interesting. Medium body strength, malty, with a lot of toffee, quite sweet, and with a good hopping, a bit fruity. Good.

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.
