HOPIQ TAKE

Odell Easy Street Wheat if you want a wheat ale that leans into brightness and citrus snap, Sundown Wheat if you want something softer and more traditionally grainy. Both clock in at nearly identical ABV and IBU—4.6% vs. 4.5%, 18 IBU across the board—so the real difference lives in malt character and finish. Easy Street feels like someone cracked open the grain bill and let the wheat yeast do theatrical work; Sundown sits more understated, letting the wheat's natural sweetness breathe without much complexity competing for attention.

TASTING NOTES

Odell Easy Street Wheat

WheatCitrusySmooth-drinking

Easy Street hits you with that classic Odell signature: clean fermentation that doesn't get in the way, but the wheat yeast strain brings genuine orange peel and a whisper of clove that feels natural rather than forced. The body is light but present—not thin—and there's a brightness on the finish that makes you want another sip. It's the kind of wheat ale that tastes intentional, like someone made specific choices about yeast and mashing, not just threw wheat in a pale ale mold.

Sundown Wheat

WheatLightClean

Sundown reads as more straightforward—a honest wheat ale that prioritizes drinkability over aromatic complexity. You get that soft, pillowy mouthfeel wheat brings, with a mild sweetness that plays well with the grain. It's not quiet, exactly, but it's definitely conversational rather than demanding your attention. The finish is clean and slightly dry, which keeps it from ever feeling cloying, even as a sessionable pour.
