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.

Sampled at Borefts Beer Festival 2019, day 1. Unclear pale yellow color, full sized white head. Smell and taste grassy hops, nice pleasant bitterness and a fruit hoppy note. Really nice easy drinkable light hoppy beer. I like it.

Sampled at Borefts Beer Festival 2019, day 1. Unclear pale yellow color, medium sized white head. Lightly citrussy, very grassy hoppy light bitter drinkable hoppy beer. Very similar to Workers Song I'd say. Would be interesting to try these from bottle side by side.

Half-pint, from keg at Beer In Hand. Shared with Finn. A beige bubbly head over a coal black body, clingy lacing. Fine roasted malty nose, slightly ashy. Blended taste of dark bread, coffee and dark fruits. Roasted bitterness to the finish. Rather soft on the swallow. Pretty good. (Hereford 01.02.2020).

Half-pint, keg at Bee in Hand, shared with Finn. Pale golden body, hazy. Bubbly, small sized white head, spotty lacing. Inviting smell of tropical fruits. Pineapple juicy flavors, hints of citrus and a bite of malty sweetness beneath. Fruity ending, short. Soft in the mouth. Refreshing thirst quencher. (Hereford 01.02.2020).
