rudolf (1572), Buffalo, New York, USA Nov 15, 2006 Volo Cask Days ’06. Light gold. Nose is jalapeno, doughy malt. Smells like a great pizza. Flavor is dominated by jala but not overwhelmed. Peppery, light toasted malt. Honestly the best pepper beer I’ve had. blankboy (2687), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 29, 2006 <i>Cask at Volo Cask Day 2006.</i> Pours a clear pale gold with a small diminishing white head. Aroma: whoa, that’s jalapeno alright, pretty much nothing but! Flavour of jalapenos along with some hops -- not as hot as I expected from the aroma. Light bodied. I’m rating this slightly higher then I actually liked it because I’m not very fond of jalapenos but for what this is, it’s fairly well done. mds (2111), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 29, 2006 Cask. Clear orange with a bubbly white head. Fresh pungent jalapeño screams out along with some biscuit crispness. Flavour has quite a bit heat to it...quite unique though not particularly deep. The spice overtakes it quickly but I think it’s a nice experiment. GregClow (2369), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 24, 2006 Cask at Volo Cask Day 2006. Light golden colour. Aroma - yup, jalapeno, and not much else. Body is on the thin side. Flavour is not nearly as hot as I expected - the jalapenos are definately there, but it’s a mellow, almost sweet heat, complimenting the hops quite nicely. Not something I’d drink every day, but it’s not the disaster it could’ve been, and is probably the best pepper beer I’ve tried. Radek Kliber (3402), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 24, 2006 Cask.
Aroma: green pepers, spicy nose, sweet malts working behind (6+)
Gold amber, large fizzy top.
Spiced bite up front followed with green peppers. Good break from one extreme (hops) to have another. By the way cask effect was totally nullified with pepper spiciness.
