Poured from the bottle with the Chille. Aroma is of pickled jalapeno. Flavor is nice, pure jalapeno. You do get the pepper burn down to the gut, but as a bit of a pepper lover its nice. The burning does linger. You gotta try everything once, and you just might like it!

33 cl bottle @ home. 4,2% version, BBE 05092012
Aroma has vegetable-like jalapeños and kind of reminds me of deep fried jalapeños with cheddar. Flavour has vegetable-like jalapeños and basically nothing else as the burning chili overrides everything. The pain of the burning chili is nice though. Actually I wonder if this should be rated as a beer at all. A beer for the chili geeks – but not for beer geeks.

olio (1530) - Tampere, FINLAND - NOV 26, 2011
33 cl bottle.
Pours clear pale golden colour with no head. Aroma is quite offensive with strong vinegar presence and some jalapeno. Flavour of chili, vinegar, some grain and malts. The chili flavour is served as promised but should it be this strong on a beer is another thing.

lusikka (2533) - Tampere, FINLAND - NOV 26, 2011
330 ml bottle.
Pours a golden colour without a head. Visible bubbles. Aroma of raw jalapeños with some light grainy malts. Flavour of jalapenõs, vinegar, grainy malts, light hops and not much else. Straightforward and strong jalapenõ burning finish. Slick mouthfeel. Probably the most burning chili beer I’ve encountered so far.

The worst beer of all-time. 12oz bottle with the chilli. I’ve never, ever not spitted out a beer faster than this one. It’s a corona on crack with chilli added. So freaking hot and sweet that it almost made me vomit. I’m a lover of spicy too, but this is absolutely horrid. Avoid at all costs.

Holy shit, what appears to be a serrano pepper in a shitty lager. This is going to be bad. Aroma is sweet with loads of chili. Taste is effing hot, overly sweet. This is maybe the third beer I’ve ever poured down the drain. After I tried it, I had to try my hardest to get my Dad and Brother to try it after they saw my reaction. This is horrible, give me a Bud Light over this. It was fun to try though, and for that, I’ll give it a 2 overall.

AmEricanbrew (4123) - roam, Louisiana, USA - NOV 10, 2011
Clear golden color with fleeting white sheen. Big ass chili pepper, pale malt aromas. Light bodied. Huge chili pepper flavors front to back, with some bready maltage--huge pepperburn all the way down-it was still burnin hot on its way out the other end--yeah thats probably too much info---

DiarmaidBHK (1527) - Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 3, 2011
Bottle from acme. Pours the color of urine. Big jalapeño aroma on the nose. Not much carbonation. Big heat on the tongue which multiplies the more you drink. This beer hangs around forever. Nasty. It’s not the worst beer in the world but it’s not exactly good.

Once you get past the novelty of the chili in the bottle it’s just a so-so beer. The chili flavor and heat does come across rather strongly.

Botlle shared by in-law uncle Mike. Light yellow pour, little carbonation and a nose which was nothing but pepper. Flavor started out light and then the chili burn set in. Kind of like nachos in a beer bottle. Not terrible, I could actually see myself ordering this instead of a bloody mary if I was about to head out to a football game and had a big rich breakfast to pair it with.
