Notes:
A Golden Ale created by blending the final recipe with its own barrel aged pilot beers fermented with wild yeasts. Each individual barrel contributes a unique flavor from the wood chosen and the cultures resident to achieve subtle complexities that develop(ed) over time. A beer which starts sweet, filling the mouth with fruit-like esters and a mild spiciness, changing to a tart and lingering flavor reminiscent of grapefruit living amidst an earthy, citrusy hop aroma. Define flavor for yourself in this constantly evolving liquid expression.

A funky wonderful beer. A little farmhouse in the aroma, otherwise even that is pleasant. Slightly dry above averagemouthfeel. Tasty and complex, with bourbon and wine and oak. Greatly drinkable, enhanced by bitterness in the finish.Good head and some lace.

a big tick for me here i had been wanting to try this one for a long time and was finally lucky enough to get the opportunity. served into a snifter and enjoyed while hanging around the house last night.
the pour is a wonderful golden color that has a very lively presence throwing up tons of carbonation and a huge head that seemed to reach a height of three inches or more and dropped tons of lacing all down the sides. the aroma was a mix of everything, light citrusy hops that intermingled with a fine little sour apple funk and a quick hit of light spice that popped on the tongue, really very complex and nicely put together. warming seems to just bring out more and more of the funk as apples, pears, an nice yeasty flavors mix in and give it a very tart dryness but never push it too far in any direction. i have no clue where the abv is on this one, i drank it like it was 5 percent as that how it faired, wow incredibly well hidden,
overall i was amazed by how well put together this one was. really just a great, well balanced beer that would be a good starting point for someone looking to get into sours.

Thank you to Richard for opening up this beer last night.
A: The pour is a nice golden orange color with a nice big white head on it.
S: An absolutely incredible amount of citrus notes come through on the nose. Lots of sweet, juicy oranges, unlike anything I've smelled in a beer before. Notes of grapefruit and pineapple come through as well. A subtle Brettanomyces aroma, not all that funky, but a bit of earth. Some light spices too, especially white pepper.
T: The intense citrus quality continues on the palate. Lots of wonderful juicy oranges, grapefruit, pineapple, and some lemons. A much more pronounced tartness than the nose would let on, and only a subtle spice note.
M: The body is medium with plenty of tiny carbonation bubbles.
D: I was not really expecting too much from this beer and it really blew me away. A fantastic beer from Odell, who keep impressing me.

Had a few pours at the Night of the Funk 2010. I was looking forward to this but it really disappointed.
Pours a somewhat-hazed orange color with a fairly-large white head and some nice lacing as it makes its way down the glass after a few good swirls. There are some slight fruity notes and a bit of Brett. Some earthy character.
The taste is the big letdown. There really just isn't all that much going on, and I had this very early in the evening. There is some Brett, stone fruit, oak, and a bit of funk. The feel is medium with a pretty dry finish. Not a bad beer, but certainly didn't stand out.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: You can make the head on this beer as big as you want to, so be careful how you pour out the liquid; in my case, the cloudy peach nectar-colored liquid is capped by a three finger mountain of foam; excellent stickage and plenty of lace is left behind
Smell: The aroma has an alcohol-laden astringency that hangs over the fruit salad elements - grape, pear and tart berries
Taste: Beaucoup layers in this beer, starting with somewhat sweet grape, pear and berry elements that, by mid-palate, add a tart, peppery dimension, along with noble hop grassiness that dries out the profile; after the swallow, the fruity flavors return, but the barrel aging in wine and oak barrels adds a new dimension, with the flavor betraying elements of both types of wood
Mouthfeel: Medium body with high carbonation; some warmth in the gullet
Drinkability: For all of its complexity, I never really cozied up to this beer, as the Saaz hop flavors just didn't coalesce for me with all of the fruit and barrel elements; still, quite an achievement from a brewery I really enjoy
Thanks, welosiped, for the opportunity

Thanks to womencantsail for sharing this one at GRG1313’s tasting.
Pours a murky orange with a foamy orange-white head that settles to a small cap on top of the beer. Foamy swaths of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, fruit, yeast, wood, and wine aromas. Taste is much the same with Brett-like and wood flavors on the finish. There is a medium amount of wood bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer with some interesting aromas and flavors.

A - Poured out a slightly hazy, golden-orange color with a three-finger, cream colored head of thick foam. It had some nice retention and left some thin rings of lace.
S - It smelled of citrus, pine, mild funkiness and there were some fruity characteristics, too.
T - Very unique flavor - fruity and spicy, slightly sour with some sweet caramel. These flavors evolve and change in intensity as the beer continues to warm.
M - It was crisp, sharp and smooth. A medium to full bodied beer with a dry finish.
D - This is a really amazing beer. My favorite from Odell.

2010 vintage purchased at Dennis Brothers on the way to Darkness Day that year. Finally got around to cracking this for July 4th, 2012. Served in a pint glass.
A - Slow but persistent gusher. Big white foam settles to a chunky cap and splotchy lace. The initial pours are a largely transparent golden, but subsequent ones get increasingly murky.
S - Lots of oak presence, along with some spicy yeast, bourbon, and brett flavors. Mildly phenolic, with some lightly vinous character as well. Some sweet pale malts round out the profile, and this has a slightly aged quality to it. I get the feeling I'm not the biggest fan of Odell's house brett strain.
T - The taste has a bit more malt backbone, with some doughy caramel and buttered biscuit sweetness. Barrel influence is heavy, with spicy oak dominating and bourbon in the periphery -perhaps a bit of dill too. Mildly phenolic and peppery notes, along with some fruity esters, rounding things out. Alcohol is pretty tame at this stage. I'm surprised I get any vinous character with only 2% of the blend coming from that type of barrel. Mildly tangy and sour brett finish.
M - Very dry, with lots of tannic oak. Fairly big in body, with medium-low carbonation and mild acidity in the finish. Again, alcohol is well-disguised.
D - This was enjoyable for about 8oz, but quickly grew fatiguing afterward. There are a lot of flavors here, and they don't always work in harmony - the malt bill seems oversized and at odds with the brett and bourbon flavors. Perhaps this would be better as a 7% beer?

Sampled December 2011
A soft pour into my large Tripel Karmeliet tulip nets me over 6 fingers worth of pale tan colored foam; this beer is definitely excessively carbonated. The beer is a dark amber color that shows a mostly clear, amber hue when held up to the light. The aroma smells of tart apples, woody oak, perhaps a touch of buttery oak, a toasted oak and pale grain note, a hint of bourbon like fruitiness, lots of pear notes, dried hay like grain character, honeysuckle and even some honeydew melon notes.
Lightly sweet up front, the beer is quite fizzy and picks up a tartness as it rolls across the tongue. There is a lot of fruitiness in the flavor too, with notes of pear, green apple, perhaps a touch of honeydew melon as well as a touch of a more musky / funky melon (musk melon / cantaloupe perhaps). The oak character is pretty prevalent in the flavor too and it contributes a definite buttery oak note, a somewhat astringent & spicy character (this helps to dry out the finish), a nice hint of raw wood plank and perhaps a touch of Bourbon like character (though this last comes off more as oak than Bourbon). The slightly rancid, buttery oak character in this beer seems to be not wholly oak derived; there is a mustiness, a slightly musky funkiness and a hint of plastic / funky phenolic notes to this beer that add some complexity as well as sharpness (in combination with the oak) to this beer. The pale malt character plays a nice supporting role here, there is a definite pale grain chewy / almost-sweetness here, a touch of honey-like malt, a definite dried straw pale malt note and a touch of pale French Bread character (like the crumb inside and not the crust), . This is definitely fairly light bodied for a beer of this strength, it has some viscousness and heft to it as it crosses the palate, but it doesn’t feel heavy, despite being a sipping beer (the alcohol, oak and complexity are what contribute to this last factor).
I am surprised that the Bourbon barrels are not more noticeable here, it does make up only 20% of the blend, but it can so easily be overwhelming; I am quite enjoying that it is so subtle here. On the other hand, 3% for the wine barrels seems like a missed opportunity here; I would have loved to see a more complex wine-barrel influence to this beer. Overall the oak character is perhaps a touch too strong to be in balance with the base beer, but it is not so much that the base beer is completely lost. Despite the oak being a bit too pronounced here, it seems that the bright fruit character plays the leading role. This is complex enough to be interesting and enjoyable, but the complex notes are not as well integrated as they could be and the totality of this beer suffers a bit because of this. Still this is quite an enjoyable beer and one I am happy to experience over an evenings time.

Pours an effervescent amber with 4 fingers of cream colored head. A little bit of haze to go with great head retention & nice lacing
S: Grassyness & sourness, pears, white pepper
T: Grassy, with green apple peels, grapefruit, a bit sour twang, some dirt & pears & some candi sugar up front. Pears, green appleskins, Granny Smith apple sourness, white& black pepper, a touch of grapefruit, oaky dryness, white grapes & honeysuckle as this warms, plus raspberry tartness . Finsihes with woody dryness, berry tartness, lemons & grapefruit, some sour notes that verge on the edge of funkyness, nice white pepper notes
MF: Medium bodied, lively carbonation, Charrdonay like dryness balances well with hops & fruittyness
Very drinkable, highly complex, probably not sour enough for some. I really enjoyed this. I bet this would go great with some Indian or even some sea food, loved it, a hoppy wild/sour with nice approachability with some wine-like traits

The nose is malty, with some nice yeast notes, some coriander, very slight citrus, kinda bready. The taste is very nice malty, yeasty, nice touch of spices, some citrus, very slight bourbon/oak notes. Medium body. Very Drinkable, this is a very nice BSPA. Thanks Chuck for the hook up.

750ml generously gifted to me from boatshoes. Thanks a lot Fletcher!
Pours a cloudy dark golden orange color with a two finger frothy off-white head that has great retention, only slowly fading into a thick lasting ring. Large chunks of soapy lacing left behind.
Slightly funky, sweet aroma that combines elements of all beers involved in the blend. Lots of crisp light fruit, especially apple and pear along with faint boozy sweetness. Earthy funk from the wild yeast is complimented by the strong barrel presence. Lots of earthy oak with hints of vinous light fruit, possibly grape from the wine barrel. Not picking up much of the bourbon although it composes 20% of the blend. Subtle peppery spice. Very complex with the greet and golden ale notes countered by roasted oak.
Medium bodied a with a strong alcohol and zesty spice presence up front that lingers throughout into a dry finish. Lots of coriander and pepper countered by a prominent earthy oak/barrel character. Toasted oak with subtle boozy vinous notes, but the oak aged golden ale flavors really stand out. It's only 33% of the blend but is most prominent. Estery light fruit notes with grape, apple and pear along with zesty spice and boozy sweetness. Wild yeast gives a funky dry Brett presence that compliments the oak/spice and adds complexity to the overall flavor of the beer. Again, I'm not picking up any bourbon but subtle wine comes through. More boozy heat in the finish.
Overall an interesting and complex beer that makes good use of wild yeast without overpowering the other flavors. Lots of oak but not a lot of spirit which prevents it from being a booze bomb.

Hazy bronze pour, effervescent with a foamy white head; nice retention and lacing. Funky aroma, white wine and citrus, barrel notes. Taste of pale malts, Belgian yeast, funky grass, white wine, light citrus, with a slight bitterness, and a minor barrel aspect. Light-medium body, and quite enjoyable overall.

Thanks to kbutler1 for sharing this one.
Poured into duvel glass.
Pours 1/2 finger of off-white head. Color is a pale bronze hued gold.
Aroma: Bree up front with a big funk aroma. Wine like flavors with grapes. A nice amount of fruits. Apricots and mangoes. Very sweet fruits. I also get a bit of oak.
Taste: A brett funk flavor up front. Very barnyard-like. Lemon and hay flavors. The sweet fruits from the nose are muted a bit. It has some spice notes. It is slightly oaky. The brett funk really takes this beer over for young it is. It does have some earthy hops showing.
Mouthfeel: Funky and crisp. Medium bodied with a medium amount of carbonation. Ends very funky/soured.
Overall, a pretty nice offering from Odell. A little bit slow drinking from the brett, but it is a nice funky beer. I didn't detect any bourbon at all which disappointed me a bit.

Shared this one with everyone during the 'We Want The Funk!' tasting that was graciously hosted by beermeX2! Big thanks goes out to Jake1605 for sending me this one in a past trade! Served from bottle into a Mikkeller flute. Poured golden yellow with a half finger off-white head. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, spices, and funk. The flavor was of sweet malt, spices, slight funk, and slight sour. It had a light feel on the palate with high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew. The funky and sour aspects in this one were not as pronounced as I was expecting on this one, however, this did not kill my overall impression of the beer at all. This one was very light and easy to drink and reminded me slightly of a saison with the spicy aspect going on in it. Really a nice brew put together by Odell that everyone seemed to enjoy for the most part. Worth trying if you get the opportunity without a doubt.

Golden and ale-like in appearance. Hazy, but nicely carbonated; a large white cap retains well, slowly settling to a half-inch cap.
Not much aroma - soapy, spicy, peppery. Some pear-like esters as it warms.
Taste is better than the aroma; semi-sweet pale malts meet banana and pear-like esters, white pepper, tannic oak, a touch of bourbon sweetness. There's a bit of cardboard-y oxidation mid-palate, and it finishes peppery and dry with a touch of alcohol. This is decent but underwhelming, for a beer with so many components it doesn't have much depth.

Latest offering, I presume.
At cellar temp, the cork shot out of the bottle when I removed the cage so, watch out!
The foam goes all crazy when I'm pouring..it keeps on growing and growing. The beer looks a slightly hazy gold but it still occupies only 1/4 of the glass.
The smell has a lot of but not necessarily strong malty and tarty notes to it. Spicy too. Faint hints of Brett. 42% aged in wine barrels...I expected a stronger tart presence.
The taste is spicy, has fairly big notes of bread, some mild tartness being of the fruity kind. Big booze here. Very warming and it's going to cut the drinkability big time. Some earthy malty notes is what I'm getting now. Whoa...this is a real beast of a beer. I predict I'll need to chew on a few Tums shortly.
I say this is full bodied, carbonation is lighter than I expected after the cork shot out of the bottle.
Overall, a rather difficult beer to drink as is and imho, not one I'd see improving with age, but I could be wrong. I guess I won't find out. One and done, for me. I'll stick with The Meddler, thank you very much.

A - Pours with a huge head of white foam that rises over time rather than settling down. Excellent retention and thick rings of lace.
S - A spicy, phenolic aroma of coriander, cloves, champagne, and pepper.
T - Bready malt and spicy yeast notes up front with clove and pepper. A hint of juicy pear in the middle that is quickly pushed aside by sharp, spicy notes of lemon peel, coriander, dry white wine, and pepper.
M - A medium-thick body, high carbonation, and a sweet finish.
D - I don't quite know what to think about this one, the spicy character is really strong and almost comes across as harshly phenolic. The malt is strong and while it finishes sweet, it has so much sharp spice character that is seems relatively balanced. There is a very champagne-like quality to this beer and if you are a fan of that sort of thing you may enjoy this, I however am not big on champage and this beer doesn't do much for me either.

Poured on tap vintage 2012, at Odell's brewpub in Fort Collins. 3-4 oz. sample. From notes.
A classic golden amber, almost hinting at bronze, with barely a white head presented. Collar always manages to stay. Clear with lively carbonation but not excessive.
Bouquet is a giant whiff of buttery oaky character. Huge buttered oak (American oak?) much like a classic booming Chardonnay with hints of honey to go with it and not a giant oak bomb. Malt presence is toned down, not particularly sour or either barnyard character either. A chard's lovers dream beer so far, extremely impressed.
Palate matches the sense of buttery richness. Malt depth carries hints of butter and lots of deep oak, and then even finishes with just a kiss of honey on the finish. An absolutely luscious and full and mellow palate, with large depth, almost getting into fatty bacon territory. Manages to even pull off just a hint of crisp carbonation ever so slightly.
A real impressive piece of work, and one unique tasting brew.

this is pretty epic stuff, worth the 15 dollar price tag for sure. pours a rich autumnal red color with a tall and dense off white head last leaves pretty lacing all over the glass. the smell has a lot going on, im picking up red wine, oak, spicy yeast, alcohol, golden raisins, and something tart and puckery. the flavor is equally complex, fruity from the yeast but made almost hot on the front of the tongue from the alcohol and the funky lacto making this beer rather piquant. iver never had anything quite like this. the barrel aging does a lot of the flavor, adding some dank earthy tones and some acidic properties and fruit esters. the feel is great, fuller body for a golden ale, just layered in texture. ultra effervescent carbonation and high abv make it sting a little bit. overall one of the best odell brews out there, which is saying something, because everything they make is excellent. it went perfectly with some homemade yak sausage over smashed purple potatoes, and heirloom tomato salad, and fresh green beans. it brings summer and fall together like no other beer ive had can do. deconstruction is much more than the some of its parts, this is special liquid.

Well, as a self-described golden ale, this hits the nose on the appearance. Gold, semi clear...some haze. BIG head, fluffy, white, rocky, sticky. Yum
Aroma is faint. Apple, pear, some tartness. A touch of alcohol and florals. Spicy, white pepper
Taste follows the nose. A quick burst of sweet biscuit dough up front. Floral and spice in the middle. Apple, pear and persimmon towards the end. The end is sharp, spicy and dry.
A very nice beer. Flavor could be a bit more put together. This beer seems to concentrate on feel first...and it feels purrty good.

Poured a nice golden yellow color, topped off with a nice, billowy white head. I initially get a little funk in the nose, along with subtle wood, juicy pineapple and tart lemon. After reading about this beer, I was expecting some sourness, but none was apparent. Interestingly, to me at least, was that although I got some oakiness on the palate, I could not discern from among the advertised woods. A really nice, enjoyable and drinkable beer (esp. at 10.5%), but one I'm likely to purchase again at the price.

750ml bottle $15. I split this with a couple friends and I was surprised a little bit by the quality. The color was a nice yellow, (goldenrod?) with a tenacious head. The smell was a little bretty and a little lemony. The flavor was pineapple (which I get from brett sometimes), lemon, a little grass, it worked well. I'd like to see more of this type of thing from Odell as opposed to their overpriced woodcut series. Oh and this is not sour at all...
