Odell Brewing Co resurrects an old style from Belgium with The Meddler. This meddler is an oud bruin aka “old brown” aka Flanders Brown ale. The style is so named due to the lengthy process it takes to create the beer. Flanders brown ales can take up to a year to produce (this one took 18 months), thanks to a long fermentation process in the tanks and the bottle, allowing yeast and bacteria to develop the beer’s flavor. The final result can be tart, fruity, malty, and slightly complex. This style of beer can give your palate a little sweet and sour with each sip.
A resurrected style from the Flemish region of Belgium, The Meddler wad bruin is a crafty concoction, comprised of several generations of brown ales, barrel aged and blended. Wild yeast and Lactobacillus meddle with the brew for over 18 months, creating complexity and depth of flavor. Hints of malty sweet chocolate and vanilla toy with a hauntingly sour finish. Intricate yet balanced, The Meddler will leave you craving more of the mysterious brew.
