Odell 90 Shilling

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

Serve in English pint, Thistle

Pours amber/chestnut color with a medium tan head. Aroma is odd...hard to describe...a mild musty, peaty, fruitiness and a bit of nuttiness. Flavor is even more nutty with an earthy, butter hoppiness that cuts through mild frutiness. Mouthfeel is light/medium and silky with a bitter, nutty finish. Odd...tough to describe and different.

Found on draft in Denver airport. Deep red pour with a thick off white head. Smooth malty body with caramel and hints of smoke in the taste. Malty, earthy hop aroma. Decent brew.

UPDATED: JAN 11, 2012 Like an American claiming to be Scottish, but, as it turns out, only has a great great great Grandfather who once went on holiday to Edinburgh. Doesn’t make you a bad person (in fact this one is quite nice), but you’re not quite who you say you are.

A full-bodied amber ale with a great texture and a good crisp, clean character.

2011 Dec 20. Bottle, Clear amber pour with lasting head. Malty aroma. Carmel toasted malt taste. I will buy this again.

12 ounce bottle, best by 3/14/12. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a slightly hazy dark amber color with about an inch light tan head. Head retention is decent, and there’s a good amount of lacing. The brew smells like caramel malt, toffee, nuts and some bready malt. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there’s the addition of a bit of dark fruit. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s a bit coating and it’s also well carbonated. Overall I think it’s an OK beer. It’s worth trying, and I wouldn’t turn one down.

From bottle. Brown with quickly fading head. Malty flavor with little hop presence, true to style.

bottle thanks to swalden28. poured deep amber with an off white head. aroma and flavor were grain, caramel, pine, and some spice. body was light with high carbonation.
