Cave Creek Chili Beer

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

bottle. poured yellowish color. this beer is nasty. my wife got me to buy it. it smells like someone put cyanne pepper in it. it was really spicy. and the after taste just burn your throat. i like spicy food but not spicy beer. like rustychiles said, "friends dont let friends try this beer." thats why i’m rating this beer a 0.5

Honestly, wish I could somehow rate this lower...yes, it’s that bad!!! Imagine keystone light with a massive chili funk. Beer should be refreshing, calming, and pleasant. None of these adjectives can describe this beer. To make it worse, try it with Mexican food...and watch out for flames...the spice is somehow intensified!!! STAY AWAY...STAY VERY FAR AWAY!!!

Sampled @ a tasting party that I held in my home where 10 people brought 6 beers of their choice each. All was going well, we had just sampled a Rochefort 10 when somebody decided it was time to try the chili beer. Big mistake. This bottle had a HUGE chili, much bigger than most bottled and was very hot. Tasted like a super hot chili soaked in stale corona. Friends do not let friends try this beer. Also this used to be brewed in Arizona, but the new cases state that it is brewed in Mexico as a contract brew.

Bottle @ Chris_o. Pours a very pale yellow color with no head. Has a strong chili aroma. Sweet malty and very burning chili flavor. Long burning chili finish. The tongue feels numb after this one.

Holy mother from hell. This is the worst beer I’ve ever tried. There are no redeeming qualities to it other than an elaborate practical joke. The army should start feeding this crap to the imprisoned Taliban to get them talking. As the beer coats your mouth with it’s foul rotten Corona taste the hotness of the pepper kicks in, and because you were stupid enough to swish it around in your mouth before swallowing, every single square inch of your pallet is on fire 10 seconds after the first swallow. I threw the 6 pack away after convincing a couple buddies to try it. Because of this beer I am now friendless.

Pale straw appearance; no head; slightly foggy clarity; tiny sinking chunks (of pepper?). Smells like corn and jalapeno bagels. Flavor is immediately corn, and then the wave of heat. Thin mouthfeel. We gave the dog a sip, and it caused him to make a nasty face and start twitching. This is horrible. I got through 2 sips before pouring out the rest. I gave this a 2 overall because it didn’t quite make me vomit.

Bottle, Dodgy Deli, Oxford. Sinister yellowly-gold pour, no head. The smell of tortillas and salsa, if you were blend up some industrial-yellow corn tortillas and Shocking Value Brand® salsa, and can them. Then tuck them into your fallout shelter, perhaps opening the jar 25 years into your wait for the radiation levels dissipate enough to make it safe to again inhabit the surface. Now a sip of this evil brew. Very watery corn, then...a slap of heat. No complexity or flavor to the heat, just unconnected-to-anything pepper fire. Upon tasting this, do I hold on to life in my bunker, or succumb to dispair? I hold on! Frankly, this beats most of the rest of the activities left in my post-apocalypses hideout for entertainment. You know, compared to herding centipedes, making charts of the cracks in the concrete walls, re-braiding my knee-length beard... Sure this is foul stuff. But at least it is interestingly and inspiringly foul, rather than just boring and foul.

dry and bland on the tongue, chili/pepper flavor just numbs the palate. have not tried w/ food, may be okay w/ a spicy mex dish...
