Odell Easy St. Wheat clone
According to Odell’s website, “Living in Colorado, “Easy Street” is more of a state of mind than an actual place.

The yeast gives the beer a nice smooth finish, a slight fruit flavor, and it’s distinct cloudy appearance.”

Biére de Garde
A style all its own, really, Biére de Garde’s closest related beer would be Saisons. But Biére de Garde’s often will lack the spicy yeast character of Saisons, providing a more malt-forward style that can often be sweeter that Saisons. Find a classic recipe here.
