Bottle. Pours yellow with absolutely no head. Aroma is mostly chili with a hint of beer behind it. Flavour is like the aroma... I think. At least that’s what I get out of it for that short time I’m capable of actually tasting anything before the chili kicks in and I have flames coming out of my mouth (never been too good at dealing chili). Interesting, but in a bad way

Yep, this has a whole chilli in it. Not sure to be scared or just laugh; instead, i’ll give it 1 out of 5. Vegetal aroma, actually a prickle of chilli heat straight up. Lots of capsicum/pyrazine notes, which I can’t help but take offense to. This is a beer right, not a chilli sauce? Really watery, no body at all, good bit of chilli spice but it, too, drops away very quickly. Might just stop my analysis there - this is really tragic. More like something you’d drink for a dare than you could actually enjoy. Terrible.

Pours a light golden color. Smell is of hot sauce. Taste is spicy hot, nothing else coming through but heat. Half of this bottle went down the drain.

BigBeer45 (971) - Michigan, USA - APR 29, 2012
I thought this beer a little entertaining, when I took off the cap, the chili pepper floated up into the neck of the bottle and started fizzing bubbles out of the stem end and this while streams of carbonation went up, this beer had a clear pale gold pour and made a white cover that quickly went to a ring with a few little spots of bubbles, the carbonation was medium or a little more with fizziness, and just a few little spots for lacing, there were aromas of light malt and chili pepper, and the flavors were the same but the chili was certainly more evident with heat on the throat, the mouth feel was light and thin, the chili pepper was more evident on the palate than the nose, and I found this beer hard to drink.

12oz bottle poured into a beer bong. Pours a clear piss yellow. Aroma of rice and burning. Taste is the same, but with more burning. Fizzy carbonation and a burning finish. Overall, it’s interesting and I’ll never buy it again.

A pretty non-descript lager gets crushed by the pepper heat and flavor this one offers. While once was enough I would think about adding it to a chili in the future. Since it was my first time I was "encouraged" to eat the pepper. That was a mistake.

I think every one is being a little hard on this beer. It is made in Mexico and I have not seen a whole lot coming out of there so I am not going to hate on them for trying something new. I would drink this with a bloody marry or tacos maybe even pizza. You would not smash a whole six pack of this beer in one sitting but I don’t do that with any beer. Just too many to stick to just one.
