3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
22. Pours a cloudy medium amber with a dense and creamy whitish head. Not much lace. Big sweet nose, definitely showing the jalaps and some caramel. Creamy medium body with bright wooly carb. Lots of sweet green pepper flesh jalap presence on the mid palate, definitely the overarching flavor by far, but the caramel maltiness is there to balance that. Long warm finish. Easy to drink. Not a bad pepper beer.

Bottle at Chriso’s 2012 Pre-GBBF Shindig, London. Pours fuzzy yellow with a fine, white foam head. Lots of dry, heat-suggesting jalapeno on the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with pale malts, white sugar, then hot peppers. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Bit of spicy heat at the end, mostly green pepper. It’s a spicy beer with a tolerable amount of heat - unlike many of the spicy beers I’ve had, which have been basically undrinkable.
