Cave Creek Chili Beer

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

Exceptionally pale color. It looks like watered down urine. The aroma is stale pickled peppers. The flavor...what is wrong with these people?! Why would anyone brew this crap? It tastes like Jalapeno and dirty dish soap. This is utterly vile shit. I never slam beers but this deserves it.

I’m pretty sure I had several bottles of this back on a Southwestern journey long ago (no, I’m not channeling Johnny Cash as coyote) but thanks to OSCF for sharing this majestically weird and shitty beer. What do you do when your brew is watery piss? Throw some serranos in! (Not that they use serranos, but . . . ). So yeah, it’s shitty corn lager with a fake spice tweak. Something to put on the bar along with boiled eggs and pickled oddities. Fail? Or is it really a kind of backwards triumph? You decide.

Thanks to OSCF for sharing, I think...Bright yellow pour with a fizzy white head. Pickled peppers on the nose. Light spice with hints of grass and corn. This was not as bad as I thought i would be. This beer could be a staple in restaurant kitchens across america. Very versatile for cooking and cheep schwil for immigrant workers

Thanks to Todd for bringing this to the tasting. Um, yeah, I ended up chugging the end of the bottle. Beer can make you do weird things. Pours like a High Life, clear and yellow, but with an added chili in the bottom of the bottle. Smells like salsa with cigarettes put out in it. Ashy, chili, corn chip nose taste as well. Disgusting, but slightly alluring as well. Made my ass tingle the next day.

Thanks oldstylecubfan. Finally get the legend. Pours translucent piss yellow with a fizzzy white head. The nose is gross, capsacin coming through in a big way, spicy, corn, grassy. In actuality I smelled this one for a bit and couldn’t actually drink it so that being said rating end.

After having successfully avoided rating this beer for over six years, a buddy of mine gave me one, so here goes. Beer pours medium golden color with almost no head that totally dissipates and leaves one of the least appealing sights I have ever observed in a glass. A chili pepper floating in what appears to be bright yellow pee. Aroma is basically just peppery. Flavor is quite disgusting. Mouthfeel is very medicinal and drinking this resemble drinking some bad fizz cold medicine that has a huge peppery kick at the end. Only two drinks and down the drain she goes!

clear bottle 355 ml
Appearance: straight mid light shade of gold with lighter white top that vanquished into oblivion.
Nose: initially very light yet with peppers showing at finish.
Flavor/Palate : mid light bodied , frontal mildness till jalapeño pepper hit you around mid end. One pepper can make so much fire ? Burning end. Interesting spicy brew with weaker malt base but let’s not kid ourselves here – that was not their goal.

Only had this once and it was enough. The flavor is awful and unbalanced, and it’s too spicy. Disgusting, but a must try.
