Cave Creek Chili Beer

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

Pours light, golden, and clear. The head was completely gone in seconds. The aroma is full of hot sauce and pickled pepper juice. The taste is pretty much pure pepper and burn. I wouldn’t say I hate it, as it is pretty much just a goofy gimmick and not trying to be taken real seriously.

I must say this beer was pretty good. I think the idea of a spicy beer is great. The beer did not have a hop aroma. The beer just smelled of the chili in the beer. Nice color, I thought. The beer had a very spicy flavor, and there was not much more to it than that. I am surprised that no one else seems to like this beer at all.

Brilliant straw, almost no white head. Sharp aroma, remeniscent of coffee beans. Peppery, spicy, almost fruity flavor up front. Playful. Long, lingering sharp spiciness down the throat. Grainy, unpleasant taste.

Bottle. Everything about this beer is straight up offensive! This beer is a cruel joke. The aroma is a wonderful skunk and tobasco sauce. The appearance is sub par, some weird sediment... possibly dirt and chili pepper particles. Flavor is a torturous hard hitting chili pepper spiciness that should never be associated with a beer. I gave this beer to " 1 2many" purely as an evil prank. A great beer to ruin friendships.

Bottle no thanks to bigmmartin. I thought I was going to puke when I drank this. No one should drink this. Extremely unpleasant. I’d rather drink tobasco sauce straight from the bottle. Have some water handy to rinse your palate if you are unfortunate enough to try this.

Oooh, new label--I bet it tastes even better now 12oz, no date. Clear straw yellow with an incredibly short-lived white head that faded to nothing. The chili pepper came out during the pour and made it look fancy, however I imagine is what killed the head. Aroma is full of vegetal peppers, smells fairly spicy, and a little bit of vinegar. Flavor is fairly spicy with pepper, earth, and some corny notes. Wet papery finish with minimal bitterness. Watery body with low to moderate prickly carbonation. Bent River’s beer is barely spicier--and more flavorful, but Jaipur’s is actually good. There isn’t a point to this beer.

Good lord I had forgotten about this beer. HORRIBLE. All you get is a scortching tongue and a desire to get back the 5 seconds you wasted drinking this piss.

Well, time to get this mother out of the way. Bottle, clear glass, with pinky-sized green chili pepper inside. Pours pale yellow golden with no head. Nasty vegetal pepper aroma, somewhere between hot sauce and the ass it eventually exits. Seriously, one of the worst noses you’re likely to encounter. Taste is very hot, and even from the first tiny sip I feel a good, lasting burn on my tongue and throat. Crappy corny malt base, as well, light-bodied and dirty. Dregs of a hot salsa that have been left out on the table in the basement for a month. Stale, nasty, undrinkable. I suppose some frat boys will get off on daring each other to chug, but otherwise this doesn’t even work as a gimmick.
