Aged for 9 months with fresh pineapple juice, Lacto, and Brett, Odell Brewing Co.’s Piña Agria Pineapple Sour is like a funky, tangy Mai Tai. Ranked 96 on RateBeer, this Sour is like biting into a fresh liquor-soaked pineapple.

One of the biggest names in craft brewing, Odell knows that brewing Sours takes skill and patience -- and you can taste Odell’s GABF-winning Sour intention in every sip of this intense pineapple experience. The scent of lime blossoms and a funky aroma from the Brett precede sharp, bright flavors of fresh-cut pineapple with hints of just-ripe guava and lemon juice.

Piña Agria started as a personal project of Matt Bailey’s, Odell’s Resident Engineer, who discovered pineapple fruit would marry perfectly with the Sour process. Rarely found outside Colorado, the result is so delicious that it puts tiki cocktails to shame -- serve this refined ale at your next party instead. Mini umbrellas optional.
