Serene golden ale with cocoa and spices inspired by ancient Aztec drink, Xocolati, counters curry-smoked black pepper mandate with mild mocha. Red ale-like fruited sweetness fortifies floral backdrop and vanilla-cinnamon trickle to cardboard-y chocolate malt finish. A lighter alternative to Rogue’s Chipotle Ale?

Thin bronze-hazed spice ale contrasts candi-sugared balm against mild mustard seed bitterness. Lively lemon-bruised souring seeps into fresh cut-grassed barnyard hay earthiness. Vinous mouth-puckering grape tartness curtails coriander seasoning. A bit watery for unique dry-bodied offshoot.

Sassy golden-glowed ‘spicy buckwheat beer’ with tan yeast particles and high viscosity generates early hop-infused coriander bittering for off-dry orange-lemon punch. Lively unripe tangerine-peach souring gains prominence as mint tingle surfaces, adding zesty elegance.
