Tap @ De La Vega’s Las Cruces. Pours a clear yellow appearance with a white head. Lightly roasted, dull green chili, straw, pepper, veggie aroma. Kind of tasty roasted chili pepper, chewy grainy flavor. Not as bad as I was expecting.

UPDATED: JUN 14, 2012 Clear pour with a thin head. You definitely get the chiles in the aroma, with roasted malt. Sweet malt, lightly bitter w/ a slight taste of chiles. Finished clean with a little heat from the green chile. Not bad for a novelty beer.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear light yellow with a small head. Aroma of sweet malt and some vegetal notes. Flavor again of sweet malt, vegetables, also tortilla with some heat in the finish. The vegetables stand out as a not so tasty part of the beer (ruins it for me) but the rest of it is good. And despite the name, it is really not spicy at all. Interesting beer though (I had to try it!) 6/4/7/4/14 [3.5/5]
