Old Odense

500 mL bottle that came from Green’s, Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. I actually bought this fro a trade that for one reason or another, fell through. Cost somewhere between $15 and $20 from memory – EXPENSIVE!
TAP: 140208; MHT 110210
Hazed copper body with some head, but the head is forced by the aggression of the pour. Some film and collar left.
Nose has plenty of fruit notes (cherry, pineapple and apple) but all are laced with a slightly sour character.
The beer drinks with some of those fruity characteristics, but more light vinegar and sourness than the nose would suggest. There is a dry character too, which is a bit like white wine or even champagne. Seems “classy”. Finish continues with a real, sweet and sour combo.
Acidic fruits are the watch-words here, and the beer is very nicely balanced between the two. I would describe it as a cross between a really sour lambic and a fruit beer. Quite a strange combination, but it comes together rather well.
Nice beer, unusually and tasty, but ridiculously expensive and it that regard very poor value for money.
