COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In some quarters of the American Southwest and Northern Mexico, the iconic roadrunner is known affectionally as “El Paisano” (”Neighbor”). Receiving a visit from a roadrunner is considered a sign of good fortune. Likewise, consider yourself lucky to enjoy this unique amber ale – we brew El Paisano with West Coast hops and a touch of agave extract for some smoky sweetness. It’s certain to relieve you from the slithering clutches of those bland, flavorless, insipid lagers on a hot summer day.

Draft at the brewery This is an excellent amber ale. The amber color with an off white head and big time lacing was very inviting. The ale had a medium body with average carbonation. This is a hoppier amber ale than most. the finish was smooth and balanced with some trailing bitterness.

On tap @ Barley Forge. This one is a clear darkish amber color with white foam. The nose is kind of musty and spicy. Very herbal hops, some caramel malt, and mild toast. There’s a touch of citrus to it as well. The flavor has something off-putting, which I assume is the agave. It’s very musty, almost sweaty. Kind of herbal and bitter. Lightly astringent, too. Some toast and caramel malt sweetness to it. Not my thing.

Ambers are usually the unwanted on a menu. But this was my favorite of the taster tray. The agave added a touch of sweetness that played against a spice profile to good effect.
