This beer came from Iron Barley a local restaurant / bar with a good beer selection. Iron Barley has a nice selection of good beers and is one of the only places I know that has cask O'fallon 5 day IPA. Odell's Extra Special Red is a tribute to one if the oldest know beer recipes.
The aroma of the beer was very hoppy with pineapple and grassy notes. The color was dark red almost brown, the color was so dark it made the beer hard to see through even though it was sediment free. The foam was low which is surprising from all the hop aromas.
This beer has a very hoppy flavor. Along with the hops there is toasty light nutty flavor to the beer which gives a nice contrast. The finish is bitter for the large amount of hops.
I feel like my taste description doesn't do this beer justice. This is a really good beer with a great hoppy flavor. I will look for more Odell beers to enjoy.
