Odell Brewing Company's 90 Shilling Ale

I lighter scotch ale billed as an amber? Should be interesting.

Pours rubyish amber with a nice light tan head and good carbonation.

Smells like an amber. Slightly sharp hoppy smell backed by malt, but nothing out of whack or overpowering.

Tastes a bit like a Scottish Ale. I guess I'm having a hard time describing why, but it tastes a bit more peaty, or oaky, than a standard amber. It has about the right amount of bitterness and malt, both of which are balanced and kind of indistinct, it just has a bit more complexity to it that I like.

Good beer. Bodes well for this brewery and the several others from it that are waiting for their turn in the fridge.
