Brewed on Salt Spring Island, Odd Fellows IPA is an English-style India
pale. It’s sold in handsome 650mL bottles and contains a drinkable 6%
alcohol. The beer is brewed by the folks at
Saltspring Island Ales. Odd
Fellows is a hazy and ruddy potion with a thick layer of off-white head.
Its aroma has a coppery tang with a bitter flourish. For flavour, the
beer has a sweet initial offering, with brown sugar and malt notes. The
back end has some hops, but not a lot of bitterness relative to a
typical IPA.
True to the English style of IPAs, this
one is malt-first, with a whisper of pine through the finish. Lower test
than I’d have liked, and not as bitter, I found Odd Fellows IPA to be
an agreeable but utterly unremarkable brew.
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
