Burnside Sweet Heat is a wheat ale with an addition of 200 pounds of Apricot puree, then dry hopped with imported Jamaican Scotch Bonnet peppers. Reminiscent of a Caribbean chutney, Sweet Heat has a subtle tartness from the fruit with a slight spiciness from the peppers which also adds a fruitiness to the aroma.

Tap at BCS. Fruity again, apricot, light tropical fruit. Taste is initially fruity then the chilli comes in. Nice warmer, not a burner. Fairly thick.

0. 65 l bottle from Pivoteka . Big tasting #2. Murky golden, small off-white head. Yeasty, fruity, spicy. Strong peppery spice. Apricot is here. Very nice balance, smooth hot spices. Actually sweet. Medium body, light carbonation. Hot finish. Liked it!

On tap at Burnside. Pours a slightly hazy straw colour with a small off-white head. Careful aroma of some grass, pale malt and hay. Flavour of jalapenos, grass, hay and pale malt. Has a slick mouth feel, light to medium body and a light bitterness. A bit one dimensional but the chili touch is nice. Not much of the apricots.

22 oz bottle hazy light beige with off white head. Soft slightly sweet wheat ale flavors and a little sizzle from the peppers.

Spiced fruit beer from this Portland brewery, from a 65 cl bomber. Irregularly shaped, snow white, lightly lacing, slowly breaking head over a misty yellow blonde beer with warm peachy hue. Aroma of indeed mashed apricots, sweet chili peppers, moldy lemon, soggy white bread, soap, ginger, cider, grape peel. Vividly fruity onset with actual fruit tartness but more in a green plum- or berry-like way than apricots - at least at first, because in the middle a certain apricot sweetness does show up, over a soft soapy wheat and bready backbone; the fruity sourness continues over this and then is met by a strong chili heat which lasts quite long but actually fits in surprisingly well; soapy wheat and sourish fruit flavors linger after swallowing. A daring combination of flavors and you’ll have to like ’piquanterie’ in your beer in order to appreciate this, but I certainly do and for me this combination works fine.

At SAVOR 2016. Poured a very slightly hazy clear yellow color with a white head. Aroma was light herbal notes, light spice, some floral character, very mild fruity notes. Flavor had some very subtle heat on the finish, some spice on the finish.

Medium, snowwhite head over very finely carbonated yellow beer. Sourish nose, citrus or other sour fruit, blossoms, spices. Fresh-smelling. Again fresh, sourish-fruity (maybe peach or apricot), but overpowered by the chili. Chili is really all-imposing. Feels very carbonated. Blast of heat immediately backthroat. Light body. Not very drinkable, this way. Sorry, chili makes it utterly unbalanced.

Pours slightly hazy golden colour with a mid-sized white head. Aroma of sweet malt, grain, cooked vegetables. Taste is grainy, sweet malt, honey, some hot spiciness in the aftertaste.

Bottle from World Beer Market. It pours an orange honey gold with quite a nice apricot aroma that then reveals earthy chili pepper. The taste is cidery apricot and peppery heat while the aftertaste gives a pleasing earthiness. Nicely balanced. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Sadly out of balance with the scotch bonnet chillies dominating the flavour and aftertaste.
