Beer 257 - Odell's 90 Shilling Ale (3 stars out of 5)

Brewed and kegged by the Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins, CO.  Bought and drunk at the Mellow Mushroom pizza restaurant on 16th Street in Denver.  A pizza restaurant with an extraordinary number of beers on daught, many from local Colorado breweries.  My feet were sore and I was thirsty after spending the whole afternoon walking around Denver, looking at the architecture and trying to find local Colorado beers after a morning spent with Accenture.

The web site says; "We introduced 90 Shilling, our flagship beer, at our opening party in 1989. For a while, we’d been wondering what would happen if we lightened up the traditional Scottish ale? The result is an irresistibly smooth and delicious medium-bodied amber ale. The name 90 Shilling comes from the Scottish method of taxing beer. Only the highest quality beers were taxed 90 Shillings. A shilling was a British coin used from 1549 to 1982. We think you’ll find this original ale brilliantly refreshing, and worth every shilling. 5.3% Alc. By Vol. 27 IBUs"

I found the beer to be very quaffable, but without much character.  It was pleasant and easy to drink, but didn't have any depth.  The taste was easily forgotten just a few minutes after swallowing.
