Cave Creek Chili Beer

Brewed by Cervecería Mexicana
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Tecate, Mexico

Sandstone from BeerAdvocate came up with this awesomeness at a tasting. Been looking forward to this for awhile. Thanks, Roger! Apparently he cellared this beer for over a year. I bet this ages very well. Pours a pale golden clear with minimal head. Very pale. Does not look good. Aroma is pickled jalapeno. Maybe some pale malt or adjunk in there, but mostly pepper. Flavor is also pickled jalapeno, very spicy, with corn and pale malt. The base beer is not very good. I also ate the pepper. Bad idea. Light on the palate with low carbonation and lasting heat. His is one of the spicier beers I’ve ever had. Sickening after awhile and not very drinkable, but not awful and pretty much accomplishes what it should. I don’t think it’s THAT terrible, but I can’t honestly say that it isn’t bad.

Bottle of unknown orgin - Thanks j12601! - Pours clear orange with a small head that quickly dissipates...aroma is like a dirty martini that has a jalapeno stuffed olive in it, light corn...flavour is sweet, far too sweet to be enjoyable...I actually would really enjoy this if it was not so corn malt forward...there is good chili taste and a lingering heat, some dirty grain mid palate...I would probably drink these every once in a while if not for the sugar...that might have gone a bit too far, but not the worst thing I’ve ever drank...

clear yellow, large white head that disappears very quickly. aroma is earth and chili and peas. vegetables. flavor is very strong chili, floral hops and water. the chili flavor is absolutely dominating. flowery chili stuff. after pouring half the beer, the chili inside (large green fella’) popped audibly like another sausage and started spewing bubbles. i can’t wait to taste it..

Yellow with a white foam you would miss if you blinked. A small chili sits at the bottom. Aroma is pepperocini, chili heat, some standard corn lager behind that. Taste is more chili spice, pepper heat. Some corn behind all of that, not overwhelmingly hot. I like it, but I love pepperocinis. The pepper itself isn’t any good, too small, wouldn’t advise eating it.

Nothing but chili here. Leaves you with a little heat on the back of the tongue. Not much beer here.

DØE Valby 09. Pours pale yellow, no head. Aroma is light malt and loads of chilli. Flavour is light malt and loads of chilli. YIKS.

330 ml bottle. 4.2%. From Lübeck, Germany. Clear golden colour (well, with jalapeño floating in glass) with no head. Aroma is pure jalapeño, quite fresh and good. And the flavour is HOT. Can’t say anything about the flavour of the beer, the chili is so overwhelming. It’s definitely chili, but I’m not quite sure if it’s beer. Quite extordinary. One bottle is enough for the whole team.

Wow what a beer.Pure evil. The pour was nice and the aroma had heat but not overwhelming.Thats the good part.The beer was pure heat.It burned my lips and singed the back of my throat.I would consider this a drain pour but we poured it in the chili and brought it up another notch.
