The urge to make a little joke was too tempting, so here is what we call a "Hot Cold IPA" , in other words a Cold IPA that warms the throat simply by the presence of chili pepper.
For a change from the usual jalapenos, chipotle, and habanero, we opted for the Wiri Wiri pepper from Guyana.
Why?
Because it has a funny name and it's quite hot, plus it has a nice cherry tomato flavor.
Of course, the base of Cold IPA is very dry, clean, crisp and bitter with an aromatic boost of Chinook, Simcoe, Mosaic and Citra.
In short, with this beer you will be cold then hot then cold then...

Clear golden orange with a fuzzy head. But pepper notes from start to finish. You definitely get the heat but it is folded in with citrus and a touch of malt. I’m not a hot pepper beer fan but this is solid.

440ml can @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Pours a generally clear gold, loose white bubbles atop. Settled clean citrussy character with a light peppery hint on the finish. Not a big cold IPA fan but it's ok.

Can shared at BBGG. Almost clear yellow golden with small head. Licorice, sweet malts, herbal hops, light smoke, earthy. Medium sweet and bitter. Oily body, solid chili heat. Not great.

44cl can, BB 15/04/2026.
Pâle, col crémeux blanc.
Arôme sur un bouquet fin malté – sur un bouquet fin malté pâle, léger résineux et pin avec une pointe ‘bready’ en support, je ne note pas vraiment une présence des piments – ce qui est dommage par rapport à comment cela est vendu.
Palais est malté pale, touche rappelant un côté crystal, cela reste assez sec et finement herbacé en bouche ainsi que fruité. L’apport de piment guyanais est négligeable, et je m’attendais à plus ; vu l’étiquette et la description.
