This pilsner beer is a combination of ground red peppers, malted barley and hops. It’s a delicious, velvety beer with a hint of spice and a surprisingly warm finish.

Bottle at home. Aroma is pale malt, straw, light yeast, some spicy and herbal notes, a little pepper, grassy hops. Flavour is light sweet and a bit above moderate bitter. Body is medium. A very satisfying peppery unfiltered Pilsener.

Thuis uit een flesje, gekocht in de nieuwe brouwerij vande 7 deugden. Licht geel van kleur, goed wit schuim. Een prima pittige nasmaak, lijkt mij uitstekend bij Aziatisch eten. Goed gelukt.

Chili pepper flavoured pale lager - an ominous feeling creeps into my memory, whispering "Cave Creek"... This is thankfully a lot better: thick, sticky, dense, snow white head over a greenish pale blonde beer with light haziness. Aroma indeed breathes the crisp sharpness of freshly cut red pepper, along with flowers, sourdough, white bread, apple peel, even a vague hint of banana bread. Crisp malt fruitiness in the mouth but, expectedly, low in esters, a bit softer and lightly bready in the middle, some baker’s yeast, faint apple touch and then there it is: a soft and subtle but unmistakable ’piquanterie’ of fresh red pepper, not burning, but adding complexity and a tangy feel to the whole, pairing quite well with the soft leafy hop bitterness. More than just a gimmick like many more industrial pepper lagers: this is a noble Pilsener with even certain Landbier-like traits, in which the chili pepper is adequately applied to add an extra flavour instead of dominating everything. I kind of like this, and I am seriously becoming interested in anything else this brewery does.
