I came across the beers in Liquor City Claremont (delightfully open on a Sunday after the SouthYeaster's festival).

First up the Red Lotus Amber ale, 4.5%. My brother bought it for the labels, which is distinctive and clear. The inside of the one I tasted was not a great bottle of beer. I must drink more of it to completely make up my mind and make certain I did not get a dud.
The Halleluja Blonde Ale is a totally different case. Slightly sweet, limited bitterness, to my tongue very much in the style of a Belgian golden strong ale or Tripel. At 8.5% alcohol you don't want several, but a very good beer to share. This one I don't need to taste again to know that I like it. Get this into a glass near you as soon as you can.
Also available at least a Pale Ale named Green Lotus that I did not taste.
