Take a Walk on the Odd Side

From Grand Haven to Holland and back to Grand Haven in 2 hours :-). Just to hit Odd Side Ales a neat little joint in an old restored building downtown. It's an indoor mall...sort of. Lots of little shops / businesses. Very cool. The exterior entrance has no sign...just small white text on the door. We walked right by it the first time ;-). The fiver had the grapefruit wheat, raspberry wheat, session IPA, josh on the beach IPA and citra pale ale. The real standout here was Josh on the Beach...a pineapple IPA aged in rum barrels...and it sure tasted like it! It hits with a slight boozy flavor presumably from the rum barrel aging.  Terri thought it was pretty strong, but I could drink a pint of it. The raspberry wheat was exactly what you'd expect....sweet, raspberry-y and refreshing. The grapefruit wheat wasn't over the top grapefruity, but still light and drinkable. The citra pale ale was loaded with piney flavor. Similar to the New Holland Pale Ale. Very good. 

That pattern you see on the bar is actually different color grains. Someone spent a lot of time doing it!
