    I'd never heard of Pina Agria, but that one seems awesome. Love everything about it on paper.

    I've actually had an Oktoberfest from Odell many years ago, but it was so long ago that Doug Odell is probably the only employee left from that era. At first my thought was "do we need another one?" but there really aren't that many packaged versions in CO. Left Hand and FCB are the only major ones that came to mind.

    I think Odell oughta also start making a pilsner. They do a double pilsner, so I don't really get why they don't do a regular one.

    That Double Pils is the stupidest thing ever... haha... it tastes pretty solid but who is sitting around thinking "you know what this light-bodied "session" beer needs? A CRAZY AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL!" I'd second the idea of a reg pils from them.

    They used to have a helles in regular rotation in their taproom. It wasn't super-authentic, but it was tasty. They probably could have called it a pilsner and nobody would have been the wiser.
    I believe Double Pils and Woodcut #4 are the only packaged lagers they've had up to this point.

    While very American in nature, I at least understand the idea of a Double/Imperial Pilsner. It's far enough from a heller bock or heller doppelbock that you pretty much have to name it something else. In some ways is a bit of a precursor to the whole "IPL" thing, which is starting to gain legs.

    Odell did a Harvest Ale a few years ago that I enjoyed quite a bit. I was glad they didn't call it a pumpkin beer as I hate when someone calls something this fruit/spice/whatever and you don't taste it. So when they went with the Harvest name, I was happy. Simple, but a good fall beer.

    The pina agria was poured last time they did their small batch festival. Having drank 6 cups at that party, I am no less than downright giddy about that beer making a return.

    Liked it a lot at Avery Sour Fest in 2013.
