Odd Fellows IPA

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.
