notalush (2626), Denver, Colorado, USA Oct 31, 2009 Tap at the brewery - no sir, I did not like this - first of all, it was way too sweet, with a heavy, honey-ish character - secondly, the hops tasted old and nearly rotting - there was an unpleasant vegetal character in the background, as well as a skuny quality - a booziness reminiscent of malt liquor - meh. yemenmocha (344), Glendale, Arizona, USA Sep 19, 2009 Pours a pleasing clear gold with white head. Nose is melony sweet and salty.
On the palate... whoa, is this a Mai Bock? Big malt flavor, good Saaz spice, but then a malty flavored alcoholic hot whop finishes out the flavor. Finish is alcohol dominant with some lingering sweetness. I don’t mind the latter charactersistics due to a preference for Maibocks, but those not preferring such a beer may want to pass on this offering from Odell. arrogantb (694), Denver, Colorado, USA Sep 5, 2009 The aroma was an earthy hop smell. The color was clear golden with a bubbly white head. Taste was sticky, slightly sweet, earthy, and good. I liked this, probably the best pilsener I have ever had. It certainly had an “Imperial” feel to it. I now need to go buy a sixer of this for the old fridge. The only thing that suffers here is drinkability but that is to be expected with a Double Pilsener.
Serving type: on-tap

At times you can really taste the alcohol. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Apr 20, 2009 Super clear golden body, white head; Big, deep, very nice nose, malt, grain, a little sweet; Super full carbonation, very soft texture, balanced; Lots of exotic fruit aromas in long finish, very balanced. checkmatei1 (629), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 16, 2009 Draft at Brewery Aug ’08: Poured a golden yellow with not much head. The aroma of a strong beer. The flavor was a very strong beer flavor, very bitter. Some sweet malts but still very bitter. Overall, can I say it again, bitter. topherh (878), Kearney, Missouri, USA Dec 16, 2008 12 oz bottle. Aroma of sweet malt. Flavor is overly sweet and harsh. Almost malt liquor like. Very thick mouthfeel that coats the tongue. kyzr (1119), Belgrade, Montana, USA Oct 16, 2008 Bright gold pour with nice sized white head. Yeast and lemon on the nose. Flavor was yeasty with wheat and sugary lemon hints. Medium body with a corn syrup finish.
