Amber pour, small white head. Not much in the aroma, light caramel malts, with very light chilli. Regular body, but the carb is quite low. The finish is all smoky chipotle. Big notes of chili without the heat. The chillies dominate the finish, and there isnt mich else. The lime is nowhere to be foind, meh, an overly smoky, chilli amber ale.

On tap at the Ottawa Beerfest. A clear copper color with a thin off-white head. The nose is weird caramel & dog biscuits. The taste is earthy, chili pepper powder, heat, chipotle, a not too bad chilli beer.

Draft - Lime and some soap. Cloudy copper with almost no head. Smokey chipotle and some lime, with a bit of heat on the throat. Interesting, and for them pretty good.

Bottle from the LCBO. Hazy deep amber with a small off white head that quickly fades to a sheet. Nose is toasted malt with some light citrus and a smoky chocolate. Sweet malty start with a spicy earthy smoky middle and a definite heat in the finish. Mouth is medium and sticky with average carbonation. Some more lime might have given better balance for the peppers.

Will Palomar end up being a Pal ’ mine? After that heavy-handed Vanilla Porter of Mills Street, and recently trying that excellent execution of chili in the mix beer -Ommegang Game Of Thrones #3 - Fire and Blood, Mill Street might have their work cut out for them. Pours a nice amber with a half finger of dense white head. Lots of malt nose, little chili in nose. Whoa! Lots of spice, chilie spice in the first sip. Carmel malt too, not really getting any lime, or much out except for spice. Once again heavy-handed Mill St. Not impressed.

A golden ale with a thin creamy white head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light fruity notes, and faint pepper notes. In mouth, a sweet fruity caramel malt with light grassy hops, and faint pepper burn, light Ginger. On tap at Mill St Ottawa.

Purchased a big bottle at the brewpub in Ottawa (as they were out on tap). Golden-amber colour, big frothy off-white head, good retention and a little lace, but mostly at the bottom end. Spicy hop nose that is pretty mild, with more fruity malt than anything else. Becomes grainy with time. Same as the taste, grainy cereal malts. Hints of soapy hops and the lime is mildly in the background, making this one a decent fruity malt, refreshing beer. Just wish we could feel the chipotle.
