Odell 90 Shilling Ale

Odell Brewing Co. - 90 Shilling Ale - Fort Collins, Colo.

Label description: "Smooth and complex, 90 Shilling is a medium-bodied amber ale with a distinct burnished copper color and a deeply pleasant aroma."

Has a very nice malt/caramel aroma. Slightly sweet from the malt, with a pleasant caramel/toffee flavor. The aftertaste loses its sweetness, but remains pleasant, with a subtle, hoppy bitterness coming out. The bitterness is not overpowering at all, and is similar to dark chocolate.

Score: 5/5
