Commercial Description:
Richer than most amber ales, 90 Shilling is smooth & deeply satisfying, with a crisp, clean Colorado taste. The name comes from the old Scottish method of naming a brewery's beer, based on original gravity and resulting tax rating.

On tap in Denver on 16th street someplace. Wow, what a blah beer. Malty, caramel complexion but not that robust in flavor, with a moderate palate, somewhat flat on the tongue (not for lack of carbonation) and having none of the flavor dimensions expected of a proper Scottish ale.

On tap at the Vine in Tempe. Pours a very chocolatey brown with no head. Aroma is of caramel and chocolate. Taste is bright and fizzy (a bit much for the style...like a lot) and caramelly. As the pint wore on, chocolate dominated the flavor in a big way. Not unpleasant, but not to style in my opinion. Still an easy drinking beer worth getting when the only other "craft" beers are fat tire and sunshine wheat.

Odell is dwarfed by the nearby New Belgium, but goes toe to toe in terms of quality.. 90 Shilling being my favorite. Easy to drink, thick head, beautiful dark amber color. I get hints of coffee and earth. Not nearly as ’uppity’ as many micro Ales. An everyman’s alternative to OB’s Old Chub.

Crystal clear amber body topped by a thin to medium thck head with some lacing. IT’s sweet and malty wtih a smokey/roasty peat note and a hint of candy sugar. Medium to full bodied and smooth.

Enjoyed at Cicero’s. This beer looks and tastes a lot like an IPA. It is full of hop with caramel sweetness. It is also fruity and spicy and the finish is even more peppery spice. Nice even if the style is questioned.
