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.

Cask-conditioned at the Pelican, Gloucester, 19/2/2016. Golden in colour, with a decent, white, head. A hoppy beer with tropical fruits, gooseberries, some pine character, creamy malts and a dry finish. Very good.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015, day 4 - London. Pours unclear reddish brown with a bubbly, beige head. The aroma holds burnt grainy toast and subtle cocoa. Light-medium sweet flavour, with hints of cinnamon, dry chocolate, earth. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; OK condition. Drying on the finish, lightly chalky, with more bitter earthiness and bittersweet cocoa. So so.

Pigs Ear Day 4. Cask. Hazy amber beer, residual pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Low carbonation. Modestly sweet malts, a little bready. Cinnamon, light floral bitterness. Ripe fruits. Semi dry finish. Doesn’t really pull off it’s own concept for me but it’s fine.

Cask at Pig’s Ear 2015. It pours murky darkest brown with decent beige head. The nose is sweet, sticky, Dandelion & Burdock, cherry, fruit cake, stewed fruits, sticky fruits, burnt toast and charred wood. The taste is bitter-sweet, charred wood, sticky, Eccles cake, burnt toast, mild acidity, warming alcohol and peppery spice. Medium body and fine carbonation. Slightly charred/burnt, but pretty nice overall.
