HOPIQ TAKE

Odell Easy Street Wheat if you want a wheat ale that leans bright and citrusy, Sundown Wheat if you want something with a touch more depth and grain character. These are genuinely close siblings—same ABV, same IBU, same style—but Odell's Colorado terroir gives it a slightly crisper finish, while Marshall's takes a softer, more malt-forward path. Neither is wrong; it's about whether you're chasing clarity or comfort.

TASTING NOTES

Odell Easy Street Wheat

WheatCitrusySmooth-drinking

Easy Street hits you with a clean, almost crisp wheat base that doesn't get muddied by banana or clove notes—it's straightforward in the best way. There's a subtle citrus backbone (orange peel territory) that comes through on the mid-palate without being aggressive. The finish is dry and snappy, which keeps you reaching for another sip rather than feeling heavy. It's the kind of wheat ale that doesn't try too hard.

Sundown Wheat

WheatLightClean

Sundown Wheat feels slightly rounder in your mouth—there's a softer malt sweetness that sits a beat longer than Easy Street. You get that classic wheat ale haze and a gentler spice profile, almost creamy in texture without being thick. The finish is more neutral, letting the grain do the talking rather than any hop brightness. It's approachable and honest, like it knows exactly what it is.
