Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Odell 90 Shilling
◎ Appearance
A beautiful amber hue with excellent clarity and a rich, burnished copper tone that catches the light beautifully. The head is substantial and creamy with fine retention, suggesting a well-crafted malt bill and proper carbonation.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with inviting caramel and toffee notes, backed by biscuity grain character and subtle dark fruit undertones. Gentle hop character provides a whisper of floral balance without overwhelming the malt-forward profile.
◐ Taste
The palate unfolds with rich caramel sweetness and toasted grain flavors, complemented by hints of dark fruit and nutty complexity. A soft, rounded bitterness (25 IBUs) arrives mid-palate, providing balance without harshness, while the medium body feels smooth and approachable throughout.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and dry with lingering caramel and bread notes that fade gracefully. No harsh aftertaste, just a pleasant malty warmth that invites another sip.
