Cave Creek Chili Beer

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

Okay, okay. This is my first rating, bear with me. My grandfather had actually purchased this beer for me a while back because of my intense love for spicy food. That was a long time ago, so I tracked this beer down to try it again. What can I say, i am dissapointed. I am a fan of habanero flavored things, and even a fan of the Blairs death sauce line. Even with this, this beer knocked my sox off. It was very hard to put down my throat. And then I burped up a little due to the heartburn this caused, and I swear to god, when the chili beer hit my sinus cavities it it felt like I had been pepper sprayed. By the way the chili inside is a serrano chili, not a jalepeno, in fact serrano’s are sometimes up to five times hotter. However, even with the cheap lager, I still managed to at least enjoy it as a long awaited break from the usual beers I drink. For that I will rate it average.

Lucky to get 0.6. It’s an 0.6 minus. Terrible, undrinkable. But the layout is quite cool and so is the chili... That’s the only positive thing to say...

Pale gold in color, no head and oh yeah....there is a big damn pepper floating in it. Smells like a jar of pickled pepper rings. This is the first beer I can say has an auditory element beyond the sound of fizz that can be heard from some of the dryer beers. The pepper was actually making a creaking noise as it was balancing its internal CO2 with the atmosphere. I am anticipating the flavor or should I say I am making sure there is nothing else I want to taste or drink for the rest of the evening. I look to my left, then to my right, wondering if the host from Fear Factor is going to walk around the corner. Also, I am looking towards my kitchen sink just in case... sun, dat tis sum spicy bouliabaise I garartee. Meez tinkin bout my daze on da bayou But dat tis y I moved to Ohio so I wouldn’t have to drink crap like this again. This is something that you drink on a dare or give to someone you don’t like. I think I will take a couple of bottles over to mball. Three sips and then a drain pour.

I like the bottle and it’s quite cool with a chilipper floating in it. Looks as thin as colored water with a bit of co2.Smells oddly like jalapeno peppers. Flavor is chilipepper: So strong that it makes me gag. Horrendous.

There is a minimum of 75 characters for your comments. A good rating says something about the appearance, aroma, flavors, body, and finish and your overall experience with the beer... This rating only says "undrinkable", and that´s enough.

I don’t know what to say. The chili or jalapeña is overwhelming in both aroma and flavour. Hot finish. Undrinkable!

nearly clear yellow w/ a white head. Smells of bad yeast and peppers. Water thin palate. Taste is a bland light beer w/ a pepper in it. Not the offensive things most people claim just not any good.

It sat there on the shelf, beckoning me. "Come, you haven’t rated this one." I hesitated. You see, I had encountered this beer before, about a decade ago. I drank it back then, a young, naive man, and threw back the chili pepper in a fit of machismo. And I declared it horrendous, swore it was barely good enough to throw into a pot of chili, and thought I would never consume this monstrosity again. But then I found RateBeer, and found myself dropping the foul beast into the basket. It sat in my beer fridge for a while, taunting me, daring me. But I am older now, perhaps even wiser, and did not succomb to such jibes. Today, however, I decided to face down the beast. Pours a pale golden yellow, very fizzy, no head, and with some really gross looking floaties. Hideous. Aroma of corn and a faint burn in the back of the nasal passages hint at the chili within. A nasty pale lager flavor greeted me, overlayed with a pungent burning sensation that mostly played in the throat. The chili adds nothing to the flavor. In a sense, it might have actually been a mixed blessing, as the burn helped mask the flavor of the beer. Yup, this stuff is just as foul as I remember it being. But this time I skipped the pepper.
