Odell Friek Returns In Oct, Hand Picked Pale & Russian Pirate

From Odell:

Fort Collins, CO. – At the end of October, Odell Brewing will celebrate the release of its Kriek-Framboise hybrid Lambic-style ale. Using a solera process, Friek is brewed with Colorado cherries, aged and soured in oak barrels and then blended. Fresh raspberries are added to the brew just prior to the blend. 

“This brew’s gorgeously tart and funky from start to end, with rich cherry and sparkling raspberry fruitiness throughout,” said Erica Reitz, editor ofDRAFT Magazine. “We love how the interplay of fruit and wild character is impeccable and complex, but the finish is simple and clean.”

Friek will be available throughout the brewery’s eleven state distribution footprint this fall. Odell Brewing will celebrate the return of the beer with a Friek-y Friday party in the Tap Room on October 30. Guests can enjoy samples of the beer, live music, and prizes for the best costumes.

FRIEK is an evolution invented by our brewers. Multiple KRIEK Lambic style ales are fermented with WILD yeast and TART cherries and then moved into oak barrels to age and sour taking on the cherry flavors. As the beer matures, FRAMBOISES (raspberries) from Colorado are readied for the beer. Fresh raspberries are added immediately prior to the final blending. The sweet and tart flavors mingle on the tongue with a sparkling dry finish.

Available in 750ml cork and cage bottles or draught.
