OddSide's distributed offerings so far. Thoughts?

I love the Citra Pale. Had a keg of it last weekend!

 

Citra pale is a great poor man's ZD. I'd like to try their other offerings, but the wife is putting me on a bit of a freeze for buying beer!

 

Yep. Citra Pale Ale is very ZD-like.

 

Well, not really. Just don't have much access to ZD in the the Detroit area, and it's the closest local brew I've had.

 

Big fan of Citra Pale Ale on draft. The bottles of Citra and Simcoe Sensation have been hit and miss for me personally. Two sixers had subdued aroma(Citra) and very phenolic yeast characteristics(Simcoe). While others have been very good. Quality control when bottling can be tricky for young breweries, see Shorts a few years back.

 

love the citra, ive probably drank more of that than anything else since it came out.

 

I think all three of their bottle releases have been very good. Simcoe is an awesome session beer for the summer. Citra has been a staple in my fridge since it came out and Me So Hoppy is also a solid offering with an awesome label. I can't wait for Bean Flicker.

 

I really dig Bean Flicker.

 

Same Here Guy, I love it when she says go return bottles..
My soon to be 3 floyds venture (when they have zd) is gonna be like when my dad brought home a puppy that my mom had said no to when I was little.. (turned out to be the best dog they ever owned)

 

oddside growlers seem to be the cheapest glass I've found around the area at 5$ bean flickr will be bottled next then?

 

Bean Flicker is the bomb and can not wait for it. As for the other bottling offers, Citra is great as always, Simcoe wasn't that good IMO and I never got any Me so Hoppy to Wheat You but had it on draft and liked it.

 

Yes, their glass is VERY cheap, believe me. Still my favorite brewery in Michigan though!

 

Exact same opinion here. Also, I remember having Bean Flicker a couple years ago and thinking it was alright, but when I had it again a few weeks ago it blew me away. Much more coffee than I remembered.

Here's hoping Firefly and Mayan Mocha are next!

 

Haven't been a huge fan of their bottled stuff. Thought Citra was better than average but not anywhere in the same discussion as Zombie Dust. I love citra hops so I'll give it another shot and hopefully its better than the first sixer I had. Wasn't a fan of the Simcoe Sensation at all and cracked a bottle of Morning Wood the other day that was bad. Haven't grabbed any Me so Hoppy but would like to try it and I'll still try new stuff coming out from them but can't say I've been overly impressed w/ the bottled stuff so far.

 

yup.. the morning wood sure took a turn for the worse

 

I've like what I've tried so far. Hoping that they bottle the Peanut Butter Cup Stout at some point.

 

heard that they may not make it anymore, due to cost on the new large system

 

That sucks. That was one of my favorite things I've tried from them. I guess there's plenty of other good stout options though.

 

I've been crushing the Citra Pale all summer - thought the Simcoe was nice as well, but I'm not going to buy it if there was a sixer of the Citra sitting right next to it. Six Citra, every trip to the bottle shop.
