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.

Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has reasonable carbonation. Smooth malts, mildly sweet with a nice contrasting and light rye spice. Trace of vanilla, almost barrel aged. Mellow orange and marmalade. Mildly spicy orange. Some bitterness on the end. Hangs together well.

Hazy gold beer, good white head. Palate is light, fairly dry and crisp. Light malts, mildly sweet. Good floral orange hop, some hop spice. Touches of orange peel and tangerine. Yellow grapefruit and pine on the finish. Crisp and hoppy - whatโ€™s not to like?

Hazy gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Piney citric nose. Palate is light and mildly dry. Nice light minerally crispness. Light malts, thin and modestly sweet, Good orangey hops, orange peel and bitterish grapefruit. Malt cream develops underneath. Pine comes in before a light dry bitterish finish. An assured brew!

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the Hop Locker, Waterloo. Pours unclear orange-gold with a frothy, white head. Assertive hops in the aroma, some orange rind, grass, pine, grapefruit pith. Light to medium sweet flavour with sturdy grassy bitterness, touches of dry pale bread, more pithy citrus, bitter rind. Light to medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Finishes with further grassy and rindy bitterness, fresh citrus fruits, grapefruit, tangerine, just a hint of alcohol. Solid IPA on the whole.
