Super duper spicy. A golden ale with a hell of a bite. Almost hard to drink because it is kind of unsettling. Probably good with spicier food as a compliment.

Tap at KLCC microbrew fest. This beer is pretty much exactly what you’d guess from the name. It smells like chili and it tastes like chili powder with a very unpleasant mouthfeel and burn. Not so high on this one.

Sampled at Calapooia in Albany, OR--Poured a hazy golden-straw body with a medium fluffy white head. Mad chili nose featuring a variety of spicy chili notes and some malt graininess. Flavor was sharp and spicy from the get-go. Fiery burn down the gullet and lingering pepper heat down the back of the throat. Very peppery even for a pepper beer. Not a beer I could sit and drink a lot of, but very interesting and would probably be a great beer to cook with.

4oz Taster - Spring Beer & Wine Festival - Portland, OR
Aroma – Lots of chili aroma. With some nice malt background.
Appearance – Golden in color, Nice light head and clear.
Flavor – Deep Chili flavor with a kick at the end. This really had some good chili flavor. Not much else a good festive beer for the party crowd. Cinco De Mayo for sure.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, good texture with a Hot fiery finish.
Overall – Party beer for the big crowds and this will give you a hot mouth and wanting ore cold beer. This is a one time drink beer.

Draft @ KLCC Microbrew Festival: Pours an unassuming clear copper with a small head. Nose is full of spicey, peppery aromas. Ahhh, then the taste. A wonderful blend of the aforementioned peppers followed by immediate heartburn. I wanted to try this just to say that I did and well, I did.

on tap-pours a thin white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is chili. Taste is mild burning chili with staying power, medium malt. Mild carbonation. Interesting.
