About This Beer
The heralded crew at The Bruery has crafted a horchata-inspired Blonde with cinnamon, rice, vanilla, and lactose. Or Xata captures the mildly sweet yet crisply fresh flavors of the classic treat while remaining refreshing enough to quench your thirst!
Tasting Notes
Dusky baking spices burst from every gulp, soaked up by bready malts and creamy milk sugar. The smooth quaff is punctuated by a healthy bit of carbonation that fizzles underneath bright notes of honey and lemon rind. Cinnamon swirls past your palate on the finish, leaving your sweet tooth satisfied with the essence of rice pudding.

What’s not to love about this beer. Easy drinking, great flavors. Not too sweet, similar to a cream ale. Could easily have more than one.

Slightly sweet, creamy, and surprisingly mellow. Little bit of vanilla with maybe just a hint of cinnamon. Not a ton of complexity or dimension, but not bad. Thick, sweet syrupy finish.

Smooth, sweet but a drying at the end. A nice milky cinnamon vanilla flavor. Really enjoying the incorporation of rice in beer that seems to be upcoming. I think a proper barrel aged version would be amazing!

Picture perfect pour with dense foam head that dissipates slowly. Essence of coconut and cinnamon waft from the glass and carry over to the palate. A delightful dessert beer to enjoy anytime.

surprisingly sweet, vanilla flavor. I enjoyed it, but I can see how it would be too sweet for some.

Yummy blonde ale! Just a slight taste or horchata. I wish it was a little stronger or maybe even had lactose to give it that creaminess.

Awesome all-around blonde with cinnamon and body to it. Not overly-sweet
