I rated this "chili" beer tops in every category because of the simple fact it IS a CHILI BEER. DO I expect a cold Canadien lager? NO. Do I expect a creamy Belgian Ale? NO. I expect a spicy chili-flavored beer and that is exactly what I got. I am a man who loves spicy foods - the hotter the better. Jalapeno’s?? I laugh at them. My wife and I use Habanero sauces like most folks use ketchup....so I found this delight once again since I moved to So. Florida last year at FLAME LIQUORS in West Palm Beach. To describe this wonderful war between sweet hops and spicy pepper does no justice to the beer. It leaves a subtle burn on your lips and tongue and throat. If you like HEAT of any kind with your food - TRY THIS....if you don’t, do us all a favor and do not try it only to belittle this great beer. ENJOY not only one but many!

Unique and intense, hard to find but easy to enjoy, a remarkable creation. The clear bottle and the ubiquitous chili in the bottle promise a spicy flavorful brew with a lingering warmth and aftertaste that allows one of these to penetrate your being and satisfy your cravings. The consistency of the flavor of this beer is remarkable and the joy of being able to find it locally make for a beer drinking adventure. While Cave Creek spoofs its own beer on its T-shirts, it is one of my absolute favorites and also a great visit at the brewery in Cave Creek, AZ.

This is a very good beer!! It isn’t for wussy’s. Not hot, has great flavor.

my brother works in a liqour store,he knows I love chilli,and brings me 6 of these whenever he visits..the first mouthful always hits hard,but then they go down a treat..I love the stuff,and am now about to try and replicate it myself. By the way,I drink it straight from the bottle..each to there own,but I like it heaps

I don’t know why all you guys are badmouthing cave creek. Sure, it’s not exactly what you want to drink on a hot day after doing yard work, but it’s a great-tasting beer if you like hot stuff. It’s like drinking Corona with a kick, only there’s no f***ing limes in it!! Seriously, try this beer if you get a chance. It can grow on you.

YOWZA! I can’t believe all of the bad reviews that this "beer" is getting. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever had. It’s incomparable. The aroma was spicy and it looked like a pale champagne without a head. The unexpected kick of flavor was delayed a few seconds after I had finished a sip. The aftertaste is EXPLOSIVE! You have to try this at least once. It made me want to go to a Mexican restaurant.

When visiting my friend in Nevada, he always drank this beer and I hated it, but after a while it grew on me and now I’m hooked. It’s a flavor you definitely have to get used to, but once you do you’ll be hooked too. It’s a spicy beer with a distinct taste. the chili is a hybrid of a jalapeno and a milder chili pepper. You need to drink a 12 pack before you get hooked.... Cheers!!

I guess I’m the only one who thought this was a good beer. I’m a huge fan of spicy food so my opinion might be a little biased. It’s got a spice to it but nothing too strong. You can feel the taste of the chili pepper afterwards. I like it.

FOLKS -- YOU CAN’T COMPARE THIS TO "REGULAR" BEER! IF YOU’RE ONE OF THE IDIOTS WHO PANNED THIS BECAUSE "IT DOESN’T TASTE LIKE BEER," SHUT UP! TAKE YOUR CAN OF BUD LIGHT & GO HOME. WHEN WILL YOU PEOPLE LEARN TO COMPARE BEERS WITHIN A STYLE INSTEAD OF STYLE vs. STYLE? IF YOU DON’T LIKE A PARTICULAR STYLE, DON’T REVIEW IT. Pours bright yellow-gold. Nice head but short retention and only moderate lace. Smells like jalepenos and grain. The chile dominates -- it’s like jalepeno juice with the texture and feel of beer. Rather than flavored beer, the flavors fuse and meld into a unique beverage and that makes it interesting.. If you’re dead-set on BEER, then skip this. If you’re adventurous and like different taste experience then, by all means, try this one. I found the alcohol buzz combined with the endorphine rush from the hot chile made me feel quite nice.

Bad ratings but this beer is exactly what it says it is. Incomparable. The aroma was of pepper which I love and its appearance was of light wheat. Little or no head which is most likely subdued with the pepper oils. The flavor varied from mild pepper to kick your tastebuds hot just like peppers can be. I absolutely loved this beer style. It may not be in the mainstream but is certainly is a treat. I drank 3 and then switched to other beer. Enjoyed the variety of depth of heat and pepper of each one. Also, use this as a meat marinade and in beef chili dishes. If you appreciate it for what it is....a craft chile beer...then it truly fits its style.
