Commercial Description:
Unique in the Maritimes (and anywhere north of Santa Fe!), our Jalapeño Ale will cool you down and warm you up at the same time. Our refreshing Tall Ship Amber Ale is loaded with Jalapeño, Habanero, Scotch Bonnet, & Jamaican Hot Peppers to create a truly unusual brew. This beer is great for lovers of all things hot & spicy, and a killer secret weapon in the kitchen and on the grill.

341 mL bottle from brewery. Pours a deep orange colour with a moderate though quickly disappearing off white head. Strong jalapeno aroma. Powerful jalapeno taste with a lot of heat. Interesting beer but hardly one I want seconds of.

Dark honey in colour with a small head. Aroma of peppers and fruit with a strong taste of peppers. Got hotter as I reached the bottom of the glass.

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of jalapeno. Tastes vegetal and sweet with a bite on the finish. I wish this was a locally available brew.

Pours a nice amber sort of color with no head to speak of. Initially you wouldn’t exactly suspect that it had so much kick, the nose is pretty much just hops and maybe some backing malt, but not too much pepper, same thing on the initial taste. You get a lot of nice bitter hops and some solid caramely malt flavors, but then the jalapeno flavor comes out and that sort of takes away from the flavor of the beer itself. It’s actually somewhat nice, not too too hot, and a really nice pepper flavor. Not something I’d want to drink a lot of especially not all at once, but not a bad beer to sit and have one of.

Bottle. Wow. Aroma of chilli pepper! Fresh and bitter. I feel like cooking with it. Clear orange appearance with a thin head. Decent carbonation. Yes, this is totally unique, I have never sampled anything like this. Its chilli all right. Hot and spicy, ouch. I need a drink, lets just have some more of this. oh I need another drink. Initial taste gives an impression of a decent ale but then just gets overwhelmed. Heart burn! Bring out the nachos! Im glad someone had the balls to brew this mind. Would love to rate higher but cant.
