Commercial Description:
Pancho Verde Chile Cerveza is a flavorful pilsner beer with exotic New Mexico green chili added. Green chili is a roasted, edible pepper known as much for its wonderfully unique flavor and aroma as for its subtle, spicy heat. We have balanced the aroma, flavor and heat in order to create an exceptionally drinkable and appealing beer that avoids the one-dimensional HOT! HOT! HOT! character of other chili beers.

Almost invisible. No head. Smells like canned jalapeno. Wet. Tastes like canned jalapeno. Bland. Garrison still reigns as king of Jalapeno Ales.

Light pale straw colored with fizzy head. Aroma is full of bell peppers, seranos and jalapenos, light malt lingers in the background screaming for help. Flavor bites hard and ends roasted, but not a roasted malt roasted, like smoked chipotle roasted. Dry and odd feeling. This makes my face numb and my stomach burn, I DID NOT enjoy the feeling this beers instills in me, but the flavor was tolerable at best.

A 12-oz bottle shared by BDR. Pours a clear straw blonde brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates clean with a very thin bubble ring. Aroma of chili powder, some white salt, and bread malt. Taste is mostly chili pepper, light bodied with some red bell pepper and green vegetables. Finish has a light chili spice aftertaste that is not too strong. I would take the beer with a Mexican Tex/Mex dinner over the macro version beers.

Small bright head that vanished quick. Pale, pale gold aka 10 K .Bitter pepper, slightly sweet blanket, with pickle aroma. Watery, hot spice mixed with pickle water, light but oily texture.

Sickly pale yellow body with a waifish head. Aroma and flavour are dominated by chili. Very thin bodied. Why...

Punished by BDR with this one. Yellow color with no head. Aroma smells like a freshly sliced green pepper. The taste would be akin to using a chile as a sucker. I will grant that the pepper spice and heat is quite well balanced with the malt and corn flavor. It doesn’t turn into a pint of Tobasco sauce.

Sad looking pour - no head, cloudy, murky - really does look like a urine specimen. Aroma of spicy peppers, frozen burritos and cold beans - odd, but not unpleasant. Flavor is not unpleasant, peppers are mixed in well. Not much else to this brew though outside of the peppers - very drinkable and not as bad as Cave Creek.
