Beer Bread is going to be my snack for this year's playoffs. Here are the tips I got for the recipe:

Beer Bread Recipe
BEER BREAD
3 c. flour
1 3/4 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt, vary to taste
1 (12 oz.) can beer
1/4 c. butter (optional or vary to taste)
3 tbsp melted butter
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add beer and mix.
Stir just enough to make lumpy.
Pour into a greased loaf pan.
Pour melted butter on top.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.
Makes one loaf.
For a bit sweeter bread you can add 2 tbsp. sugar, I don’t.
Optional Add ins—
Grated cheese & green chilis or chopped jalapeno
Italian Seasoning w/ Italian cheese blend
Rosemary and lemon zest
Chili powder with onion
Chopped Garlic and Thyme
Or any other herb or spice combo you like.
For plain beer bread I like a darker beer. The real purpose is that the beer provides the "yeast" for the bread to rise. I dont like beer, and the beer taste does not come through enough for me to notice it is beer. If I am making the bread with add ins..then depending on the add in I would vary the beer.
In your note you mention rosemary, lemon & jalapeno. With that combo I would use a pale..something light...as lemon & rosemary are light flavors. So I would use a less hearty less full beer. I would also consider to use serrano pepper with those over jalapeno, think the flavors meld better. You are right in that there can be too much going on...That is where I think the right beer choice to go with the addins can avoid that.
The smoked flour again I would not want with lemon & rosemary. Now Lime with oregano, cilantro, onion, the smoke flour would be good. It would be great for serving with a hearty meal or if making it in something that would be an appetizer--make crackers with cured salmon & cream cheese, flat bread with ham salad or pimento cheese, scones with some maple butter. Also when using the flour you dont use all smoked..use 1/2 smoked & 1/2 reg. It gives you a great creative outlet.

But seriously, I'd rather have him than a lot of good to great centers.
