Odell Easy Street Wheat

Brewed by Odell Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

Definitely my favorite American Heffe. Had this beer for the first time summer of 2006 in Denver, made the trip to the brewery the next day. Returned from Co with 2 cases (can’t get this beer in arkansas.) Pours a cloudy yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of cloves, citrus and light banana. The taste of spices, yeast and citrus are present and blended together so that nothing is overpowering, and I always get a hint of banana right at the end. Smooth, with a light body, and a sweet finish make this an A list beer in my book. Overall it is a great summer beer for me, but doesn’t satisfy my cravings for a Schneider or Franziskaner.

Bottled at Mesa Verde in the A terminal at Denver International airport. An unclear orange beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of wheat and citrus - and so is the flavor - I can’t find any traces of banana. The body is watery.

12 oz bottle from Cheyenne, WY; nose of grain and bananas; orange tinged gold with a small white head; flavor shows the grain and banana esters, with some light spices.

Pours a hazy light gold with a sizable, fluffy, white head that last for quite a while. The aroma is of lightly sour bread dough and faint citrus. The yeast is a bigger player here than in many American wheats. Light-bodied with a soft graininess to the mouthfeel, it concludes with a quick clean finish. Sour dough bready malt and light citrus with a sweet backing and a clean, yeasty finish. I rather like this one, and after trying six of their brews, I’m quickly becoming a fan of Odell Brewing.

On tap. Wheat and citrus aroma. Light sweet flavor, easy drinking. Inoffensive.

Pours a pale orange color with small white head. Aroma is lots of wheat, some bubble gum, fruit, and a slight hint of clove. Flavor is wheat, clove, and some banana.

Ho-hum wheat beer. Goes down easy like the name says, but I find it pretty boring.

Poured a Lightly hazed, bright yellow amber color with a pillowy white firm head. The nose was of bread dough and citrus zest. The flavor started with toasted wheat with a moderate hop bite. The end was on the moderatly sweet side. The finish was lightly dry and crisp. The feel was medium with an average amount of effervescence. A pretty good American Wheat Beer.
