Big Sippin'
Odell Brewing Company

 

Drank straight out of a 12oz can.

Hard to comment on looks, but from what I saw it was darker than expected.

Aroma was big and a bit hoppy. It reminded me of a fruity IPA. Not what I'd expect from a fruited sour, but not necessarily bad.

Taste followed the aroma, and was similar to an amber IPA with slight, but not overwhelming bitterness. There was some dry fruity notes present along with a light tartness. Unique but they went bigger on the hops and malts than I'd have liked. Any sweetness present was light and malty.

Feel was big but dry. Nothing to write home about. Again similar to an imperial IPA.

Overall, this isn't for spur heads or those that want a really fruity beer. It's a touch hoppy and a big beer with some fruit and souring, but nothing crazy. It call this lightly tart and not sour.

 

 

 

 

 

Cloudy apricot/guava color with a modest off white head.
The aroma is mostly guava with some pineapple and a hint of citrus.
The taste is also guava up front with pineapple, tangerine and a hint of lime, mildly sweet, moderately sour. The finish is fairly dry with lingering citrus zest.
The body is medium, good carbonation level, fairly smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is a very enjoyable brew, tasty and refreshing, more balanced than many sours, not totally pucker inducing, just enough to enhance the fruit taste. ABV is well hidden but appreciated. This would be great lounging on the beach but I would take it anytime.

Not a sour bomb by any stretch. Only mildly sour with most of the fruit imparted by the guava. Sweet and easy, like your sister.

 

 

12oz can. Date stamp on bottom lip appears to read '03/06/24'.
Murky looking body, with floating sediment. Peach/apricot juice color. Brief off white head. Some surface storm and bubble fed thin ring. No lacing.
Aroma of fruit - guava, pineapple, and citrus.
Taste is tart fruit, with flavors of guava, pineapple, and citrus. Short lasting aftertaste.
Medium mouth feel. Some sweetness but the tartness shortens the flavor expression. Good carbonation.
Higher ABV% is well hidden. Refreshing and thirst quenching.

 

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of guava, tangerine, lime and floral notes. Sweet fruitiness with a bold sour punch.
