A smokey amber ale designed in collaboration with Chef John Gorham of Toro Bravo, this beer is intended to pair with his restaurant’s spicy, rich, and layered tapas menu. For additional resonance between the beer and John’s food, we used a touch of Espelette pepper in the brew kettle.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dry biscuity malt. Flavour is dry, with biscuity malt and some astringent hops that finish it off. Really off the mark for Breakside. Boring and unambitious. Not great.

On tap at Breakside. Pours a clear reddish color with a medium white head. Lots of lacing. The flavor is dominated by traditional amber ale notes of citrus, big caramel, but the light smoky pepper is there in the background. Solid brew. Easy to drink.
