I had this beer on-tap at the brewery in a snifter.

Appearance: light golden hue with just a dash of haze and a thin layer of ivory foam atop.

Smell: sweet malt with a dose of fruitiness and maybe a little vanilla. Not super convincingly horchata, but not bad.

Taste: lightly spiced with a nice malt. A cinnamon flavor sort of comes through, but there’s more vanilla here for me. Not bad; kinda cream-soda-ey.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good level of carbonation and creaminess. A creamy cream ale!

Overall: I like this beer well enough, but I think I would enjoy an unspiced variant more.

Horchata comes in many different styles and has been a part of culinary cultures in a wide ranging spectrum of Latin and African countries since the 16th Century. It, however, has been the Mexican influenced version of Horchata that has exploded in popularity. Here we look to mimic the traditional flavors found in that style of Horchata (cinnamon, vanilla, cream) with OUR CHA TAH over a beer base. We partnered with our good friends at SerVehZah to help them celebrate their two favorite things: great beer and their appreciation for their Latin roots. A cream ale was a logical starting point, we then added cinnamon & vanilla for flavor and lactose and oats to create some "creaminess". To continue the unique & amusing nature of this beer, it will be served in a glass rimmed with cajeta & a sugar/cinnamon blend. ¡Salud!
