Odell Levity Amber Ale

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

For an amber this sure doesn’t look it, it looks more like a pale ale to me but who really cares? The color is more golden orange with a very puffy, healthy white head sticking to the glass before I have even had one drink. The smell is grass, malt and beer! The taste has some slight grass quality to it but is very balanced and the first impression I got was cereal. The aftertaste has some bitterness to it that reminds me more of macro lagers than hops.

Pours a very clear light amber color with a fluffy white head. Flavor is on light malts, a hint of toffee, and mild hops. There is nothing special about this beer, but it is very drinkable.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy, dull burnt orange colored body with a thin, fizzy, white head that dissipates quickly and remains moderately laced. Aroma is sweet buttery, bready caramels and a bit of toasted toffees. Some light, flowery citrus hops and berry-melon fruits, but mostly sweet caramels. Flavor is similar and well rounded throughout. Initially lots of caramel and lightly toasted toffees before some fruits and a touch of grassy citrus in the finish. A little more spicy than most amber ales. Long, toffee aftertaste with a bit of floral bitterness. Palate is almost full bodied, creamy and chewy, and slowly dries. Overall, nothing special, but put together nicely. Balanced, easy drinking, and pretty standard.

Pours clear amber, with a medium cream-colored head, good lacing. Smells faintly of caramel, bread, a little nutty, and grapefruit. I’m a little surprised by how weak the aroma is. Velvety and crisp, medium-light body. Tastes of apple and caramel with a mild grapefruit finish. Mild, well balanced, and drinkable.

An orange amber hued beer with a nice golden white head. Aroma is fruity and yeasty with a hint of funkiness. Flavor is quite malty with light floral notes, caramel. Finish is spicy. This is sweet and fruity and is very refreshing.

Pours with an orange-gold body topped by a thin to medium thick head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a very light hoppiness and a little caramel. Light to medium bodied and smooth.

This is a very good beer it is an amber that goes with just about anything. Not to hoppy.

Pours rather muddy brown with a medium lasting tan head. Nose is quite nice... wheat, malt, nuts, dates. Flavor is disappointing with a rather thin smoky malt flavor, too sweet, cloying. Sticky, icky mouthfeel. Blech.
