Sippin' Lemonade
Odell Brewing Company

 

Pours out a hazy light gold, with a modest head. Aroma is mild, with some citrus fruitiness (I don't get lemon in particular) with a little sweet malt. Flavor, on the other hand, is truly excellent, surprising me. Not too sour, but sour enough to neutralize any residual sweetness. It doesn't register as sweet at all for me, which is a positive in my book. Malt is light, but detectable. I still don't taste lemons in particular. If asked on a blind test, I might answer lime instead. It has fruitiness, but not distinctive lemon. If they used a wild yeast, it didn't leave any residual flavors that I can pick up.

Appropriately, it's very light bodied, well-carbonated. This is a beer I would buy again.

 

 

Slightly hazy straw yellow color with a modest and short lived white head.
The aroma is mild lemon.
The taste is also mild lemonade, tart, lightly sweet, then back to tart, just a slight touch of light malt in the background.
The body is light, well carbonated, fairly smooth and drinkable.
Altogether, this is a fairly tasty and nicely refreshing brew, should be a good summer cooler or cookout accompaniment.

Worst beer I've ever tasted honestly. I took one sip and instant regret. Not something I would drink again honestly. But I guess it's just not for everyone.

12oz can best by December 11th 2023

On the pour 1.5 fingers of bone white head formed on top of a lightly hazy golden straw body. Retention isn't great.

Aroma is coming off as a very tart and lemony with a light base blonde ale subtly hanging in the back. Very crisp and clean, almost like a helles radler.

Flavor is also super tart and lemony right up front. Not super sweet, with a crackery malty almost lager like finish.

Feel is super crisp and refreshing. Very drinkable and nice.

Overall this is a lot better than regular sippin pretty. Actually tart.

12oz can pours a hazy pale yellow color with a small white fizz of bubbles that dissipates very quickly. Smells of tart lemon, with a hint of sweetness; definitely reminiscent of lemonade. Fairly strong puckering lemon flavor but a slightly watery feel overall. There is a slight sweetness and honestly the flavor resembles minute maid lemonade to a surprising degree. The malt profile is very light and largely overshadowed by the lemon flavor. Leaves a puckering feeling in the mouth with a slightly sweet aftertaste.

This is a pretty solid, refreshing beer. Would drink again if I got the opportunity but wouldn't go out of my way to buy more.

Simple kettle sour here, but enjoyable. 12oz can pours moderately hazy with a bright straw body and a fluffy white head. The nose and palate are dominated with lemon and lemonade flavors, balancing tartness with some sweetness that has the impression of crystalized sugar but then the sourness returns. Fruity, funky and tart, pretty enjoyable.

It's basically hard lemonade, not beer. That's fine if you're looking for refreshment, just know what this is. You get a very good lemonade flavor here, which I didn't know you could do without making a straight up radler. It's both tart and sweet, just as the description on the can states. I don't know that I'd buy a 6-pack of this, but as part of their summer seasonal sampler (finally, a mix pack without an IPA in it!!) it's a good change of pace.

 

 

12 oz. can, best before 11/28/22, acquired a single can from the local Binny's. My first beer from Odell Brewing in a while, and I believe my first sour style beer from them.

Poured into a La Fin Du Monde tulip glass.

A - Pours a cloudy lemon body, with a finger of fizzy white head that audibly sizzles away. Head dies away leaving a flat-ish looking beer, typical beer the style.

S - Fruity, funky, & citrusy. I wouldn't exactly guess this was brewed with lemons without knowing, but soft citrus is constantly escaping. Notes of funk and sea salt. I love sour beers and this thing is making my mouth water.

T - Crisp & tart, with a mild bit of yeast & funk on the end. Again, I probably wouldn't guess this was brewed with actual lemons, but definitely invokes tons of generic citrus. Not detecting any notes of cane sugar, merely a dry sea saltiness on the finish. Notes of clean cereal grains. Definitely tastes like typical Gose style beer, though it is listed here as a Fruited Kettle Sour.

M - Feel is smooth, crisp, & quenching. Good carbonation, slightly dry in the finish, which beckons the palate for another sip. Extremely easy-drinking stuff, with a modest abv.

Odell Brewing Sippin' Lemonade Sour -----4/5.

Sippin' Lemonade sour pours a hazy, bright yellow color, with a big, long lasting lacing head. Aroma is sweet, and lots of lemonade notes. Flavor is slightly tart, sweet, light, refreshing, with lots of lemonade notes. Good body and feel. Overall, a nice sippin, summer beer.

 

On draft. Poured out a slightly cloudy, straw-yellow color with a small, white head of bubbly foam. It left minimal lacing. It smelled of lemonade, green apple and caramel. Nice tart lemonade taste with subtle caramel.

12 oz can, dated 11/13/22. Pours slightly hazy straw gold with a small fizzy white head that quickly disappears.

The aroma is sour fruit and wheat malt.

The flavor is bready malt with sweet but very tart lemon and a little butyric acid. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and a bit watery.

Overall, it's just meh.

i was kind of wondering when they were going to make this one, makes too much sense to not do it, a proper summer drink here, although i guess all of them in the series kind of are. i like the simplicity of the just lemon, no matching up with tropical fruits or anything, no colorful hibiscus, just straight up clean sour beer with lemon, less is more here, especially when refreshment value is considered. this is unassuming beer in the glass, deeper than yellow but still light looking, not a huge head on it but sort of soda-like carbonation, a little haze, could be a hefe. the nose is cool, there is cane sugar in this to be more authentically lemonade, but it doesnt smell sweet to me. i get similar acidities from the lemons and the lacto souring, which make this slightly tarter than the others, but not so aggressive that i wouldnt want to drink several of them on a hot summer day. the fruit is clean and natural, and grain is light, and there are no hops here at all. the flavor is similar, some lemony sharpness, lemon candy, lemon essential oil, a pretty full spectrum thing that suggests real fruit, pretty pungent but offset just enough by the cane sugar, a smart addition instead of using heavier malts, keeps this summery. i think this is neat, its not really trying to be a shandy, its less beery than that, and the sourness of the base beer is cool with the lemon, its thirst quenching, nice and fizzy, light on the palate, and just waiting for hot summer weather, i can see my wife and i pounding on these over the next few months! already a fan of the others, now this one, great stuff! surprised others have not reviewed this more favorably!
