Description
Odyssey is a small family run brewery established in the rural surrounds of a National Trust estate in Herefordshire in 2014. We brew in a building that is at least 400 years old but our beers are modern and forward looking.

Because we are small, independent and committed to staying that way, we focus primarily on only two styles of beer - hop forward (of any colour) and big, indulgent stouts, with the occasional Barley Wine thrown in for good measure. Our hoppy beers are unfined and hazy but we seek to retain some bitterness and drinkability - East Coast brews with a West Coast vibe.

All of our beer is produced for keg or can.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - deep amber and murky with a nicely proportioned thin head. Nose - toffee and pine. Strawberry laces. Taste - strawberry syrup and sweet malt. Resin too. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy syrupy texture through the middle and then a dryish long finish Overall - probably heading towards English Strong Ale in style.

Bottle from Beerhive shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy amber with a thin white head. Aromas of strawberries and cream, resin and caramel. Taste is sweet, syrupy, strawberry jam and resin again. Sweet finish. Not bad for a strong English ale, but far too sweet for a DIPA.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy brown body with a thick beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of cinnamon, cookie dough and white pepper. Flavour of salted caramel, spice and fig. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. Decent but a touch too spicy for me.

Bottle from The Beerhive.Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of stainless steel, green mango and pineapple. Flavour of mango peel, orange and straw. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Doesnโ€™t hit the heights of the excellent Citra Fiend, but itโ€™s a decent, juicy Session IPA.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy amber body with a medium white head. Good lacing. Aroma of earth, marmalade and alcohol. Flavour of tinned pears, grass and pine. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Very soft fizz. I wanted to love this but I felt that the flavours didnโ€™t quite gel. Not the easiest to drink.
