Cave Creek Chili Beer

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

Color of urine. Smells close to the same and spicy. Guess what? It tastes spicy :) A tiny bit of malt as well. Not much else. Oh yeah, and it burned when I took a poop the next day too.

Nothing but a gimmick beer - it gave us all heartburn one night at Oakes. Medium carbonation, large bubbles, acidy spicy ’chili pepper’ taste. If you want to try it let me say this - BET YOU CAN’T DRINK MORE THEN 2 WITHOUT A TUMS CHASER...

Lets call a spade a spade here. Cave Creek Chili Beer is a gimmick, the chili pepper overwhelms, so this beer is very one dimensional. Most beer lovers do not enjoy this one, and see it for what it is, a gimmick. I just happen to be in the minority that enjoys that gimmick, and really enjoy this beer. The appeal of this beer is limited, but it is a beer I feel that is worth trying. Cave Creek Chili Beer pours to a bright golden color with with a white head that quickly fades, and a vibrant carbonation. If you pour right, the chili pepper will follow the beer into the glass and will float to the top. The nose on this beer is spicy with the aroma of chili pepper. The body is light, and again, dominated by the hot and spicy flavors of pickled chili pepper. Cave Creek finishes with a warming and spicy burn as it goes down, and that spicy chili pepper burn lingers. Clearly this beer is brewed for a limited audience. Chili pepper dominates, but the heat of the chili in this beer, really is not so spicy, that you could not enjoy a bottle or two, or three. I like eating the chili pepper after I finish the beer, and enjoy the heat and the burn.

Thanks, or rather no thanks, to Tim for this. No head. Nose is hot pepper - nothing else. There is a brief moment when it first hits your tongue where you kind fo tasted beer but then it all goes away in a horrible rush of pepper. This reminds me of stuff my parents used to put on my thumb in an effort to make me stop sucking it.

Pours yellow and flat. Smells and tastes of chilis which ruined my taste buds for two days. I won’t have this one again.

Bottle. Poured clear light amber with no head. Heavy green chili aroma. Light body with a soft carbonation. Hot chili flavor. Interesting once so poured the rest out.

Bottle. Smells like slightly off Sol/Corona. Flavor isn’t too bad. Flavor of jalapeno and malt. Very interesting aftertaste, infact it’s the thing that made the beer worth it. I knew what I was buying when I got it, so that explains the rating.

Pours a bright gold color. Aromas of jalapeno, malt, and a slight hop. Flavors of pepper with a touch of malt and hops. Pepper finish and aftertaste.
