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.

Very nice - aroma is very malty, with a definite caramel note. Flavor is medium hoppy, with herbal hop qualities and overall is pretty well balanced. One of the better session pale ales.

Weird: has the beer changed or was I loony in my previous rating, waxing of vanilla, caramel and fruit? I still think this is great but my current sampling is nothing like that (Personally I think the beer is the same I was the who was off). Near opaque but showing a dark red, with med beige head that lasted well, with light lacing. Aroma was moderate, but hinted at bittersweet chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor is more bittersweet chocolate, perhaps a hint of smoke or tobacco to go with roasted malt, and a definite dry finish - as dry a beer as I've had. Very drinkable, a great session porter.

A moderately hoppy amber ale, IMO. Nice crisp but understated hop aroma, and well balanced dryish flavor with some almost smoky undertones (but that could be false - given that I expected it to have a scottish ale flavor at first sampling)

Amber colour; Remarkably toasty nose. Very toasty palate, with a hop jam spread over top for a cedary bitterness.
