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.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 10/09/20. First Oddysey beer since lockdown me reckons ! Lively pour to murky orange / yellow with a big old off white cap formed of bubbles. Nose is bitter orange, grass, spruce, ripe melon, citric tinged straw. Taste comprises sharp grapefruit zest, light pine, orange pith, grass, melon, ripe mango. Medium bodied, light prickly carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy come juicy hop bitterness. Decent enough IPA but overcarbed which makes what would have been a likely 3.7 become a 3.5.
