Siletz Mojo Ale

Formerly brewed at Siletz Brewing and Public House
Style: American Strong Ale
Siletz, Oregon USA

Slightly metallic aroma mixed with sour fruit. Fairly flat, caramel amber pour. Slightly cloudy. This is an odd brew, some sips I dig it, some I am turned off. Caramel malt add sweetness, fruity undertones, and some toastiness. Hop balanced. Fairly tame American Strong ale. Decent brew.

Dark amber/mahogany with a creamy dark beige head and sheets of lace. Bitter hop aromas with fruit a plenty; figs and orange peels. Caramel and toasted wheat. Alcohol and biscuits. The nose is very complex and nice. Rich and complex malt bill in the flavors. Thick caramel with roast and biscuits. Sweet and sour hops with bitter notes. Some figs and oranges as well. A touch earthy. Thick bodied but finishes with a big malt punch and blended hops.

Sampled draught at Siletz Roadhouse, Siletz
Dark amber, retentive head & lacing. Nose of sweet candyish hops & a rich maltiness. The flavor is nicely balanced, more on the acidic side but nice body & easy drinking.

2004 draught. Well I can sort of understand some people’s ratings, but mine was not hoppy. Dark orange, light haze, small off-white head. Slight spicy, earthy hops on the nose, mostly yeasty, thick breadiness and some toffee. Flavor is intensely yeasty. I drank this and thought I was drinking the wooly bully again, but even that wasnt this sour. Incredibly sour, but yet soft and creamy. Sweet honey wheat dough notes, graham crackers, light malts. Interesting, but too much sweet and sour sauce resemblance.

on tap in beautiful siletz. pretty full-flavoured. lychee and a little orange rind in the aroma, a fair hit of caramel sweetness, some sweetness lingering in the finish with reasonable bitterness. decent stuff

The beer after its escaping the 22-ounce brown bottle sets in the glass a deep mahogany with a mountainous frothy light tan head, and the left over lace a thick and sticky sheet that clings mightily to the glass. Nose has a nice crisp hop spiciness, sweet malt also present, perfume like tones, a sweet treat for the nose, start has a nice grain profile, sweet and the top middling in feel to the palate. Finish is stern in its acidity with the hop pronounced in their spicy bite, the aftertaste continues the spicy almost perfume like flavor, a good beer by any standards, interesting and a pleasurable quaff.

Poured a brownish/amber color with a small head. Aroma was a bit fruitty with orange, molasses and hops. The taste was a bit off to me, lightly sour, nutty, caramel and bitter. Didn’t care for it.

Poured a cloudy copper color with a huge, mountainous, reddish tan head and some nice lacing. Weak malty and citrus aroma. Taste was sweet malt, lightly hopped. The taste seem funky and off.
