Ungstrup (11354), Frederiksberg, Denmark Aug 17, 2008 Draft. An unclear golden beer with a medium light orangey head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of chili, that tears in the nose. The flavor is sweet malty with a nice medium strong chili note - not too much, but it still leaves a slight chili burn on the palate and tongue. argo0 (6230), Washington DC, USA Jul 16, 2008 (12oz bottle, thanks acrdz) Medium white head atop clear straw body. Aroma is medium sweet, sweet and spicy chili pepper. Taste is medium sweet, juicy chili peppers, "hot" but not overpowering. Light-medium body. A tasty fulfillment of what the label promises. kmweaver (2121), Takoma Park, Maryland, USA Jul 10, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of acrdz. Thanks, Mike! Pours a hazy, golden color; white head with patchy, fine-bubbled lacing. Huge amounts of fresh peppers in the aroma; spicy, authentic, hugely vegetal; this is actually surprisingly nice; like fresh roasted green and red peppers. Lots of heat / spiciness in the mouth; medium mouthfeel, with a huge pepper presence; light carbonation; green peppers, habaneros, and pepper seeds; lots of solid warmth and legitimate pepper presence. Actually quite nice overall. Medium finish: touches of wheatiness and loads of lasting fresh pepper hotness. acrdz (4364), Boulder, Colorado, USA Jul 10, 2008 Clear straw yellow colored body. Huge, instant nose of pickled jalapeno peppers, like sticking your nose into a jar… the jalapeno/pickle juice note is raw, intense and true to the character of the chiles, though there’s little in the way of wheat beer behind the peppers, aroma-wise. For flavor, it’s mostly mild up front for the first second, becoming peppery (black pepper) and tangy and prickly on the middle and back of the tongue, but never really getting hot. Comes across as acidic heart-burn at times, but again, never really gets hot. For what it is, it’s actually a pretty nice representation of the flavor of the chiles, but tends more towards pickled jalapenos rather than a more pulp/fruit flavor of the others. Biting and sharp towards the end, not terrible by any means, but ultimately simple. ryan (1707), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Jul 9, 2008 Courtesy of arcdz. Clear pale straw body with a small white head. The nose is fresh chopped peppers. The flavor is mostly chili peppers, but a bit watery otherwise. Meidum/light body is a bit thin with moderate carbonation.
