ABV: 10.5%
IBU: 26
In the dead of winter, there is a kind of cold that seeps deep into your bones. It chills you and won’t let you go unless you combat it in a very special way. So what’s a freezing Porch Drinker to do? Why grab a barrel-aged Deconstruction Ale from Odell Brewing Co. This golden ale has a complex, unique flavor that is hard to compete against.
Being half ages in wine barrels, and the other half in ale barrels, this craft brew has a great sour taste with hints of honey and sweet citrus. It’s full, oaky body is complimented with a biting tart and spicy, hoppy aroma. This pilot beer uses wild yeasts and each batch will be slightly different, however each and every one is just a complex and special as the others. At 10.5%, it is definitely not for the lightweights or those afraid of a boozy brew. It will warm you up from the inside out and make you forget all about that winter chill, and not only will you be nice and toasty, your palette will thank you for indulging in a strong and special ale.
Cheers,
– Andy
