This one ends up as so many other habanero infused beers Toooo muuuuuch It is more or less impossible to end one bottle without getting your taste buddies burned down to some useless ones And then you must drink pale lager for the rest of your life. Because you taste nothing anyway But it looked nice by the way Cloudy yellow in the glass with a fine white head And an ok lacing [Bottle from Jinroh]

0,33 litre Bottle, shared with Cunningham. Golden with little head. Habanero, grassy. Too much chilli, for my liking.

A year ago I thought this was a perfect beer. Maybe it was the novelty, or the perfect match with a bleu cheese burger. Still great, tho.

big dank nose day with orange pekeo, tons of habenaro on the mouth. Super spicy. Serious one of the spiciest beers I’ve had but the habenero shines. Huge bitterness. I think they could have used a fruitier pepper to complement the beer better, but still nice stuff.

An absolute astonisher. A gem, a pearl, a precious pepper. Top 3 Japanese beer?

Bottle. Pours nice amber golden, relatively clear. Not much carbonation and just a bit of foam on the top. Nose is fruity, sweet malty base with tropical hops - and lots of red hot pepper. Quite pleasant. Habanero is ruling the flavour department. Potent but rich malty body provides a good counterpart, actually drinkable habanero beer - as long as you take small sips. Sweet body and medium burn in the throat. Quite liking this, and usually I don't like hot and spicy beers that much.
