Every sip of O.J. Beer carries the legacy of Odo Joost (better known as O.J.), a legendary Belgian strongman born in 1880. Growing up in Flanders, Odo helped his father on the family farm, hauling heavy sacks of barley, malt, and wheat. By the age of 22, he was a national weightlifting champion and began brewing his own beer using the crops from his land. Just as Odo grew stronger, his brews followed suit, gaining a reputation for giving drinkers that “extra oomph.” Today, the brand continues this tradition of strength and courage, crafting beers for those who want to fuel the afterparty and make every night unforgettable.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: A vibrant, crystal-clear golden liquid topped with a dense, creamy white head.
- Aroma: Dominant scents of sweet malt and cereal grains, accented by a subtle hint of herbal hops.
- Palate: Full-bodied and rich. The sweetness of the malt is perfectly offset by a controlled bitterness.
- Finish: Long, smooth, and warming, with the 16% ABV providing a distinct but clean alcoholic glow.

Critics and beer enthusiasts often highlight its surprising drinkability. Independent reviewer Chris’s Beer Reviews noted that despite the high ABV, the beer is “delightful” with a “nice malt base and a nice heat from the alcohol,” admitting he was “blown away” by the flavour profile. It holds a consistent 5-star rating from our customers at Oaks & Corks, who praise it for its “fair price” and “powerful kick.
