Dedicated to Spanish author Juan de la Cueva, who, in 1575, wrote of a Mexican dish that combined seedless chipotles with beer: Chipotle Ale is based on Rogue’s Oregon Golden Ale, but delicately spiced with smoked chipotle chile peppers. Deep golden in color with a tight head, rich malty aroma, delicately smooth and crisp flavor, and subtle chipotle chili finish. Formerly known and packages as Mexicali Rogue, Chipotle Ale is created from Northwest Harrington, Klages, and Maier Munich Malts; Willamette and Cascade hops; and Smoked Jalapeno (Chipolte) Peppers. Chipotle Ale is targeted for spring release and available in a 22-ounce bottle and on draft. Blend it with Rogue Chocolate Stout and create a Mole’ black and tan!

On tap at Beer Keiyaki Spring 2014. I just found this scrunched up not with my rating. It was probably my last beer of the night so I will do my best do get through the semi-legible scrawl. A dark reddish copper pour with a filmy white head. Biscuity & fruity with some sourness. I got to try this again when I haven’t had 20 beers beforehand... my hazy recollection is that it was satisfying.

Bottle from Bier Huis, Ossett. Clear, amber colour. Thick, lasting, off white head. Really bizarre aroma of blue cheese to this! Either this beer is never right, or I’m just about to drop dead from some brain defect that’s just kicked in, without me realising...

650ml bottle. Clear, copper-ish amber colour with average to huge, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Caramel malty aroma, exerted sniffing exerts a peppery spicy note with a touch of smoke. Taste is minimally sweet caramel malty, minimally dry, hints of smoke, a peppery spicy chili touch. Slightly loveless knocked up basic ale pimped with an always welcome chipotle note that sadly doesn’t come across fertile soil.

22 ounce bottle into signature pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours lightly hazy orange copper color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, toast, bread, chipotle pepper, light smoke, light citrus, floral, grass, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of malt, hop, and chipotle pepper notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, toast, biscuit, chipotle pepper, light smoke, herbal, floral, grass, light citrus, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Slight herbal bitterness/pepper spice on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, biscuit, chipotle pepper, light smoke, herbal, floral, grass, and toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and robustness of malt, pepper, and light hop flavors; with minimal pepper heat and no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice chile beer! All around good balance and robustness of malt, pepper, and light hop flavors; and very smooth to drink with the minimal heat from the peppers. A very enjoyable offering.

Botella de 65 cl. en el Lúpulo. Color cobrizo trasparente con espuma no muy persistente. Cuerpo ligero, se bebe muy bien. Aromas y sabores muy bien combinados no resaltando ninguno en especial, bueno si, un pequeño toque a ahumado y picante que le da al final algo de interés. Para comenzar la tarde o la noche, se podría repetir.

Draught @ Christian Firtal, Odense. Pours slightly hazy darkish amber with stable light beige head. Clear aroma of fruit, caramel malt, and butter. Sweet flavour of malt, caramel and fruit, with sourish notes. Mild, acetic finish with biscuity notes. OK.
