Odell Brewing Company Releases an American-Style Red

From PR release:

Beer Enthusiasts See Red

On February 2nd, 2009 beer lovers can climb to new heights with the release of Odell Brewing Company’s Red Ale, an American-style red with generous hops for an extra kick.

For several months, Odell brewers crafted different varieties of red ales on the brewery’s five barrel Pilot Brewing System. The test batches were served in the Odell Brewing Tap Room and evaluated by the entire brewery staff. The selected brew features aggressive American hops delivering a robust hop aroma and flavor.

Red Ale follows Odell Brewing’s winter release, Isolation ale, as part of the brewery’s new rotating seasonal lineup that will replace its Single Batch Series. The rotating seasonal lineup will also include a new summer brew currently in development on the brewery’s Pilot Brewing System.

“Making this beer was a true collaboration of efforts and creativity,” said Odell brewer Brent Cordle. “The Red Ale has some serious hops, but it’s well-balanced and very drinkable.”

Red Ale is available through May. Six-packs will retail for approximately $9.49 - $9.99.

I wonder if this Red brew is going to be the replacement for their Extra Special Red that they plan on discontinuing? Will look forward to trying this one out.

I'm so excited to try this new Red Ale by the Odell Brewing Company. I always try to stay up on new beers that are being released so I'll have to keep my eye out at my local bar for when it arrives.
