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!

Measurements: 12 degrees Plato, IBU 35, Apparent attenuation 82, Lovibond 23

Very interesting. Would definately go good with some beefed out nachos. Although beer and peppers sounded very odd to me, I thoroughly enjoyed this brew.

Kind of hazy brown color with thin off white head. Very nice roasted-smoked malt aroma with a chili kick. The flavor has rich roasted-smoked maltiness followed by a light vegetable chili flavor. Tasty brew.

I love peppers, and I love beer. I even love eating peppers while I’m drinking beer. But a beer whose primary (almost sole) noticeable ingredient IS peppers? No thanks. Rogue makes many good beers, and I’ve enjoyed most of them, but I’ll pass on this one.

Poured hazy amber with a normal/abundant amount of head, which formed in some large bubbles. Aroma is very malty, bready, and pleasant. Previously, I’d had another chile beer which turned me off from this category, so I was a bit reluctant to take a sip. Flavor was extremely malty on the nose, with a bit of spice on the back-end. Not great, but not awful. Although I love chiles, spicy food, and preparing and eating all the foods that go with that (salsa, guacamole, anything Mexican, spicy tomato sauces and so on), after these two experiments with chile beers, I think I’m not going to meddle with this category further in the future.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 7 Oct) Amber colour with huge foamy off-white head. Fruity nose with citrus, grapefruit and some peppery notes. Fruity taste with dark fruit, figs, earthy/dusty hops and a distinct peppery bite in the finish. Quite interesting and well balanced pepper character.

On tap at Rogue, Portland. Amber colour with thin beige head. Slightly smokey, bit of yeast, smokey amber, bit of rubber, bit of toffee. Not great.

Bottle. Slightly smokey aroma. Cloudy red colour, small head. Smokey flavour with nice chili aftertaste. A bit one-dimensional, but I like it.

Pours a cloudy amber into a shaker. Offwhite micro head with excellent retention. Smoked pepper and sweet malt aromas. Medium-bodied with upfront sweet caramel with a spicy, lasting smoked chipotle finish. Very nice.
