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!

Nice copper pour with a white head that had nice retention, mild lacing. Aroma had nice caramel malts and hops. A nice mild pepper note to it. Flavor had good balance between slightly sweet malts and a nice hop profile and the chipotle was mild an pleasant in the aftertaste. Well balanced throughout.

Smallish head with medium lacing. A bubbly orange color. Aroma is peppery, taste to match with a hint of bitter.

On tap at the brewery. Funky earth and foot aroma. Piney. Clear amber with a off-white head. Flavor is funky, with some deeper smoke, a bit of rubber, some spicy pork belly and a touch of pine. A light edge of burning on the back of the throat. One of the least offensive pepper beers I’ve had, if that’s saying something. And that’s saying something.

[1903-20081214] 1pt6floz bottle. Smoky leaves and autumn campfires outdoors aroma. Clear, amber red body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Smoky peppers and lots of charred wood in the flavour. Medium body. Interesting to try, but "it tastes like burning."

12 oz bottle. No real aroma, just bright and shiny on the olfactory. Slight haze on an otherwise yellow orange brown beer. Good tingly carbonation. Generally bitter and ale like but with this heat thing going on. Heat and warmth makes this a little more interesting than the typical ale. Bitter aftertaste personality. Nifty finish with a medium hot pepper burn. End of finsih is a penetrating astringent roof of mouth impression. Glad I tried this even tho it was $2 more than my average beer.

As one who loves hot peppers.. this was my first drain pour. I did not like this... period. I was even thinking... wait I’ll probably like regardless off some of the poorer reviews. Nope.. I think if it was a different type of pepper? I dunno... Yuch!
