Trandoshan ale

"Always thinks he can handle Trandoshan ale. That stuff can take the finish off a landspeeder."

- Kanan Jarrus claims Skelly is a Wookiee who has drunk too much Trandoshan ale

Trandoshan ale was a type of ale. When the Jedi-in-hiding Kanan Jarrus needed to prevent a pair of Imperial stormtroopers from finding the demolitions expert Skelly, he hid him in the bathroom of the Asteroid Belt cantina on the planet Gorse and pretended he was a Wookiee who had drunk too much Trandoshan ale. Jarrus claimed the ale was strong enough to take the finish off of a landspeeder, and the retching sounds made by Skelly were enough to put the troopers off entering the bathroom.

Behind the scenes
Trandoshan ale was first mentioned in A New Dawn a novel by John Jackson Miller released in 2014. The novel does not make clear if there is any connection between the ale and the Trandoshan species. It is also not clear if Jarrus's claims about the ale are accurate.
