If you like a somewhat flavored beer, this might be for you. Horchata is an acquired taste for some. I don't care for it, but my wife loves it, as do many others that have been with me.

Subdued spice/cinnamon and hints of vanilla nose on this one. Taste follows well with a soft-on-the-palate creaminess. Just lacks a little depth to make the spice notes pop out more.

Had a sample on tap at the brewery. The bartender warned me of the sweetness, so, ready for it. This beer has the light color and the mouth feel of a cream ale. It smells of cinnamon and vanilla, much like horchata. The taste is once again similar to the namesake, horchata. This is a sweet beer and the drinker must be prepared for the sweetness.

I am not a fan of most cream ales, but do enjoy horchata; I liked this beer.

Very sweet, with loads of vanilla bean and a hint of spice. Otherwise kind of sour-grainy with a brief finish.
