Cave Creek Chili Beer

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

I didn’t buy this beer expecting it to be good, only because there was a chili pepper in the bottle. What I wasn’t expecting was this beer to taste as bad as it did. I will give this beer points for originality though...

A Mes rate: Bottle at the Magic_dave6 shindig at Chris O’s.
Well, this was easy to enter... I didn’t have to change any numbers. My first 0.5 and if I could score it lower I would. It burned like food that people with no taste buds eat. It smelled seriously rotten. It was a horrible colour with what Duff described as "sea monkies" (and they were) for sediment. And I needed a glass of water, pretty much a full glass, to calm my mouth down after just one sip. Trust me I love spicy food and eat hot Indian food regularly. It’s the devil’s urine in a glass and it’s utter shite.

Oh yeah, I dedicate this rating to noelcb :)

I am speechless. I almost hate the man who made me try this (not once but twice). Water piss colored. Smells of pickles, urine and yeast. Just awful, really really awful! Words can’t begin to describe the crappy chili infused watery piss that I just tried for the second (and last) time in my life.

Poured a hazy piss yellow color, aroma of chili peppers. Hit the mouth with heat, thin body, finish with a gag reflex. I want my money back!

Pours a chill hazy golden with no head. I’m almost scared to try this one. Aroma of pickled chili peppers...kind of turning my stomach just smelling it. Initial sip is nasty pickled peppers and heat. Pepper is just overwhelming and is actually triggering my gag reflex. Three sips later (and that third one was forced big time) and this thing is getting poured down the drain. Stay away from this...yuck! Don’t get me wrong I enjoy chili peppers, hot food and beer obviouly. But this was just nasty.

In a word - awful. You can actually replicate this experience without buying this beer. Go to your fridge, pull out a bottle of sliced jalapenos, and drink the pickle brine. I love beer, I love chilis, but these are two great tastes that don’t taste great together.

I love chili’s and I love beer, but mixing the two is like barbecued chicken pizza: never the twain shall meet. For what it is supposed to be, I guess it hits the mark. Drink with lots of corn chips and melted cheese. No need for salsa.

WOWOWOWWWWWW hot, Nice, smells like raw chilis, golden orange, nice big pepper floating in it, zero head and spicey hot flavour with the longest finish ever, its all about the chili baby!
