3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark amber in color, clear with a thin head. Nice pepper aroma. The heat in the flavor and taste is very good. Not over the top and so hot you can’t drink. Very good job.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught Head gone in secs, over deep-golden ale. Green peppers, rawly chopped. Fiery peppers’ flavour, alas nothing else, if background sweetness. Palate: wow. Beer ought not to give thirst, but the opposite.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Serrano Yellowtail on draft. Clear pale yellow, white head. Hot peppers, chiles, serranos, bready, grainy malts, and light grassy hops. The pepper/vegatable character is quite strong. Pretty good if you like to drink salsa.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Taster at Old Grove pepper beer day. Pours a amber yellow with a small white head and some lacing. Aroma is of citrus, pepper, dirt, and some straw. flavor is of serrano peppers, citrus hops, earth, and some carmel. Has a medium body with a dry mouthfeel and a dry, peppery finnish. overall, a very unique and tasty pale ale.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A: The pour is a clear golden color with a thin white head.
S: As with the Habanero Piper Down, there is a very green, fresh pepper aroma with a nice spice and some earthy notes. In addition to the chile pepper, there is a bit of black pepper and a faint hop and malt note in the background.
T: Not surprisingly, this is very heavy on the Serrano pepper up front with a nice spicy bite and a light sweetness of pale malts on the back end. There is (strangely) a hint of yeast and some very light hop notes.
M: This beer is fairly light on body with a medium carbonation.
O: Significantly better than the Habanero Piper Down, though I think the four ounces were enough for me.
