90 Shilling Ale

Flagship beer from Odell Brewing Co in Fort Collins (Colorado), an independent brewery since 1989: a rounded, complex, medium-bodied amber ale with a burnished copper color and a very pleasant aroma. Perle and Nugget hops, British crystal and chocolate malts. Its name comes from Scottish beer taxation: only the best beers were taxed at 90 shillings. Bitterness: 32 IBU. Available year-round.
