Dried-out orange palate, creamy caramel malt follow-up, and puissant carbolic fizz provide fine opening for herbal red ale. Ginseng nearly lost in vanilla extract, honey maple, and citrus adjuncts. Slide this in next to Hempen and Aviator ales. Brewery defunct: 2001.

Aromatic aftershave lotioning, peppery hop nose, and blue agave-spiced eucalyptus tongue climax with mint-y freshness. Initial peculiarities give way after a few sips, leaving an excessively cloy ginger-sugared finish. Pour slowly to correctly balance agave with sharp tequila twist.

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.
