One of the things that truly sets Odell Brewing apart is their commitment to using only the finest ingredients in their beers.

As an avid beer enthusiast, I have been fortunate enough to taste the 90 Shilling Amber Ale on several occasions. Its deep amber color immediately catches the eye, and the aromas of caramel, toffee, and toasted malt are simply irresistible. Upon taking the first sip, the beer greets the palate with a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness, with notes of caramel, biscuit, and a hint of hoppy bitterness. The mouthfeel is smooth and medium-bodied, making it a highly drinkable beer that can be enjoyed in any season.
