Clear ruby with a frothy tan head, nice lacing. Faint smell of spicy malts and corn syrup. Med body and smooth. Mild taste is spicy yeast and sweet malts. A nice but understated taste here. 103106

Bottle purchased in Gunnison.

Pours amber with a laid-back head. Whole-grain toast aroma, hints of fruit, mild roastiness. Relatively restrained flavor: gently sweet, again lots of that malt, gentle unripe peach sourness. This one doesn’t really come together and click for me, but it’s got its strong points and its unoffensive.

Weaker head on pour, slightly cloudy copper appearance, Aroma is fresh baked rolls with a hint of baking roast beef. Flavor reminds me of a tangy tangerine. A little sweet, mild malt. A bitter aftertaste detracts. Body medium to a bit watery.

Pours reddish copper with a light tan head. The aroma has sweet caramel malt with fruit-like sweetness and a touch of brown sugar. Medium crisp body with some frothy carbonation. The taste starts with much of what was on the aroma with the finish having a bit of hop spiciness. A solid beer.

Little head, unique flavor that startles at first, but does grow on me a little. Fruit flavor ending with a malty bitter aftertaste. Decent beer. Not as good as some other O’Dell’s.

Pours a hazy amber color with little head. Malt and caramel aroma. Well balanced, malty, bitter flavor that is light on hops. Little to no carbonation gives this a creamy texture. Reminds me of a quality strong ESB. Overall a well crafted brew.

Bottle. Cloudy reddish-amber. Good-sized white head. Citrus aroma with a hint of baked goods. Nice hoppy flavor. Sweet with a bit of a bite. Tasty ale.

Pours a pretty, deep copper with a thin, creamy, beige head. Simple and fairly muted, the aroma is a front of toasted malt and a supporting note of earthy hops. Light to medium-bodied and slick with a dry and slightly astringent finish. Toasted, nutty malt and earthy hops are about all I’m able to pull from the flavor on this beer. It’s simple but well constructed and quite drinkable; another solid, quaffable brew from Odell Brewing.
