Commercial Description:
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!

Was expecting a lot more from this beer, pours a nice deep amber, aroma has hints of spices and peppers but the flavor was lacking i was expecting this brew to be at least a little spicy but fell extremely short of that

Pours out a rich amber color with a floral fragnance, almost like a light rose fragrance. Taste is light citrus hops, light smoke, some pepper, and spice. This beer was extremely balanced for a beer that incorporates a pepper with beer. Slight jalopeno warmth in the finish.

Bottle, 22oz. Hoppy aroma. Amber color. Flavor is spicy, with an aftertaste of chili/jalapeno. Nice spicy beer, that would go good with a spicy meal.

The color was light brown/orange. The head was very creamy, frothy, foamy, light beige, and light lacing. The aroma was a soured milk smell, spice, and sour. The flavor was sour, spice, peppery, but it wasn’t as strong as I expected it to be. The palate was thin-bodied. The finish was abrupt. I was a little disappointed by this beer.

Not bad for the novelty that it is. Pours deep rusty red, small head. Aroma is pretty smoky, tastes of smoked meats and somewhat peppery. Not recommended as an anytime beer, but would go very nicely with chili and similar dishes.

Poured an amber brew with a thick (aggressively poured) head with a creamy consistency and leaves some lace. The aroma smelled sour like an amber ale with some spices in it. The flavor tastes just like an amber ale with some slight spice. Has more of a spicy character than I expected.

22oz Bottle. Pour is golden orange with a healthy off white head. Aroma is a bit earthiness, with some pepper spiciness. Taste is a bit sweet at the beginning, then a touch of spice comes out in the middle through the finish. I was expecting a spicy beer, and this was a lot more balanced than expected. Overall, quite drinkable beer.

Pours hazy amber. Starts sweet, some smoke, caramel. Almost has kind of a tomato juice flavor. Finishes spicy with a slow burn. Kind of strange.
