Blonde Ale Brewed with Rice and Lactose, with Natural Cinnamon and Vanilla Flavors Added
Horchata is a traditional, sweet, milky drink originating in Spain and Latin America that has become quite popular in Southern California, particularly with Mexican cuisine. Our homage to the traditionally non-alcoholic drink is a blonde ale brewed with a heavy dosing of rice, cinnamon and vanilla along with lactose for a little extra creamy character. These ingredients meld together to create a taste and experience that hints at horchata, but it's much more than that. The flavor is hard to describe, but for those who know it, you know you love it.

Canned 473ml. -at Pivoteka Zagreb. Clear golden coloured, medium sized white head, cinnamon and whiff of rice in the nose. Tastes like cinnamon cake with notes of vanilla and rice with mild spicy finish. Interesting.

Tap @ Cloudwater BBF19, Manchester. Clear golden pour with a fluffy beige head. Herbal medicinal nose, herbal tea bitterness, some liquorice. Gruit? Tastes sweet, herbal and a bit sticky and syrupy. Feels traditional for sure, herbal booze.

0.473l can. Clear orange body with a quickly disappearing white head. The aroma is quite spicy. Nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon dominates with a bit of grains. Taste of vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, heavy cream and sugar syrup. Drinkable, but not really for my taste.

440ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Feb '19. Not sure who brought this. Pours orangey gold with a light mist, white foam atop. Aroma has chai, cinnamon. Taste is thin, dry, lots of cinnamon and associated spice, generally quite pillowy smooth, insanely light for a 7.2% beer.
