Our Jalapeño Pale Ale is in a class of its own. We start by brewing Free Will Pale Ale, and then add in a hefty dose of fresh-picked jalapeño peppers with the seeds removed, so you can enjoy a subtle flavor and the aroma of the green peppers without the heat.

Sampled from a can this beer poured a bright amber color with a huge foamy soapy orange white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was jalapeno, green pepper and a hint of hops. The flavor as sweet, tangy and fruity with mild bitterness, jalapeno and black pepper. Medium length finish. Medium body.

Not bad, with a notable jalapeno vegetal back end that almost reads coffee-ish, and the slightest capsaicin tingle in the back end. Orange and toasted grain make up the middle, while mild citrus and pine offset the peppery finish. Much better than expected.

Amber color with pepper aroma. Flavor is malty and mild hot pepper taste. Slow burning aftertaste that intensifies over time.

Blik gedeeld door Benzai. Bleek gelig bier, licht troebel met weinig schuim. Aroma van een aardappelveld. Smaak van paprika. Weinig nasmaak.

Can @ tasting shared by me. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Smell and taste heavy peppers, some malts, some hops, but it basically just tastes like (Dutch) "paprika water / squeezed paprika". Yuk. Bleh. Hate it.

Blik gedeelt door Benzai, geprobeerd met Inoven. Het is een troebel goudgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige wat peperige geur. De smaak is vol moutig en peperig met een lekkere peper in de nasmaak.

2 week old pint can A: Finely hazed medium gold color with small amounts of white foam falling to a ring. S: Toasty malt scent with light herbal hop notes. T: Sweet malts upfront quickly joined by vegetal notes of (cooked) jalapeno including just a bit of heat. Veggie sweetness lingers. Hops are lost on me. M: About as flat as it looks and more carbonation would help. Feels heavy for the ABV. O: This may be great with food but the sweetness and flat body leave a lot to be desired on its own. And this bigass can!

16 oz can, split with friends. Poured a hazy yellow color with a small but fluffy white head. Aroma was light grain, some jalapeno came through, green pepper flesh. Flavor was light grain, some mild toasted notes, sweet, with a little bit of heat to it. Not overpowering.

Pint can pours with a slightly hazy deep gold body that supports a thin off white head. The aroma offers up loads of jalapeno pepper and little else. The taste delivers the same dang load with jalapeno flavor all over the place. There is only a tiny pepper warming going on. If jalapeno flavored beer is your deal then this one will work. Good stuff.
