Its crazy to think I haven't posted anything since last October! Sheesh! Time to get back on the bandwagon and back to drinking. Wait... that didn't sound right.
Anyways, the other night I had a 90 Shilling beer from Odell Brewing. I'll be honest, the only reason I grabbed this one when I built my last 6 pack was because it was the cheapest beer on the shelf. I had no idea what to expect and didn't really have high expectations. Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised.
I didn't realize it when I opened it up that it was a scotch ale. After I listed my tweet-sided review via the Untappd app, it came up as that which explained a few things. Fortunately, this is one of the best beers of that style I've had. Normally, in my opinion, a scotch ale tastes too boozy. Thinking back, this one had the flavor, but without the off-putting burn/taste.
90 Shilling smelled a bit fruity when I poured it and it's head frothed up nice and thick. When I got into it, it had a very nice malty flavor with just the right blend of hops. Definitely smooth and very easy / pleasant to drink. This is one I wouldn't mind picking up again.
