Esmeralda Ale

The name. The mountain. Esmeralda is located in the Teanaway River drainage just S of Ingalls peak and SW of MT Stuart – one of our favorite areas….

Compared to Maude’s mild, Esmeralda has a higher alcohol level… with some dark sugars allowing notes of molasses and dark sugar to complement the extra alcohol.
