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.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of cinnamon, with some lactose and vanilla. Flavour is moderately sweet, with lots of cinnamon and vanilla. Finishes sweeter than it starts, but with great balance. Really nice.

Aus der Flasche im Muted Horn Berlin 2017-06 getrunken. Dieses mit Reis, Zimt und Vanilie gebraute Bier leuchtet fast Orange. Die Zimtnote ist deutlich ohne das Bier zu domminieren. Von der Vanilie ist direkt nichts wahrzunehmen. Hier hat man ein vollmundiges, sehr stimmiges Bier im Glas. Ich finde es fanatastisch.

Draft at Growler USA. Amber medium bodied beer reeking of sweet cinnamon and vanilla. Creamy with a cinnamon malt finish. Not bad as a dessert option.

Bottle@yesprs - Golden pour with white head. Fruity and herbal aroma and taste, some veg notes, lots of spices and some vanilla going on into the finish. Not sure on this.

Bottle. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is cinnamon, vanilla, like a perfumed candle. Taste is vanilla, rice, cinnamon, spicy. Not exactly my cup of tea, but it’s fun.

Bottle, courtesy of SinH4, many thanks! Pours lightly cloudy golden amber. Aroma of almond, vanilla, milk, cream. Body is medium, with the flavours continued, turning almost artificial though. Lively carbonation. Palate lingers with vanilla. Kinda works, but it gets worse the more you have.
