Woodcut No. 6 Oak Aged American Ale

While at the Odell Brewery, I picked up a bottle of Woodcut No. 6 Oak Aged American Ale and brought it back in my luggage. This beer features Mosaic hops which are blowing up right now. The beer pours an amber color with a lofty frothy cream colored head that leaves specks of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of passion fruit, tangerine, toasted caramel, pineapple, and orange. The taste is bold with strong caramel up front and plenty of passion fruit, tangerine, orange, and pineapple flavors. A light oak dryness with a peppery spice comes in on the finish. The alcohol content is 10.0% ABV. This beer is full of tropical fruit and delivers a wonderful flavor with a light spice and oak accent. It also has an earthy presence to it with some grassy accents.

Odell Woodcut Number 5

My buddy Matt brought back a bottle of Odell Woodcut Number 5 from Denver and brought it over to my house to share. The beer pours a dark amber color with a frothy cream colored head that leaves some lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of raspberry, vinegar, funk, grassy, hay, and dirt. The taste is lightly sour, but not too much, with a solid caramel and raisin base. The sourness comes out with some vinegar, raspberry, hay, barnyard funk, and a bit of lemon. The alcohol content is 11.3% ABV. This was quite the quality beer with wonderful flavors. The mixture of raisin flavors with funk and sour raspberry made for a great balance, one that took the tongue on a wild ride.
