Our Tastes-- Odell Brewing Company 90 Shilling Ale



I ordered some brews from Arcticliquor.com, owner is Leif Erickson (no lie, not sure about the spelling) and Odell 90 Shilling Ale was recommended. Considered one of the Odell "Classic" beers, introduced as the flagship beer in 1989, it is a lightened Scottish Ale to the point of an amber that absolutely makes your mouth happy! The lattice is nice with a well balanced toast aroma, light brown at best in color but has become my first, only and best Odell beer that I have ever tried. A shilling was a coin used in Britain from 1549 to 1982 and only the highest quality beers were taxed 90 shillings. Man I love this beer so much, I've got to order it again. 5.3%abv, even the bottle is the shiznat with it's crossed hop cones?
