Our Thai Chili Wahoo is a favorite in our tasting rooms for its complex balance of heat and spice. Orange and coriander have long been a part of our trademark Wahoo White. In this edition, we added a dose of Thai chilis, even more heat from ginger, and a counterpunch of lime. The flavors in this beer need to be experienced first-hand, so grab one and try it for yourself.

On tap @ Rattle N Hum. This is a blurry yellow golden one with a small white head on the top. Mild wheaty nose, there's tones of something zesty and grapey. Also, it's quite sweet. Like it. Tastes pretty hot! Oh, I totally forgot what the wahoo was for a second here. Really burning in the back of the tongue. It has a thin oily texture and a soft carbonation level. Almost a little mineralish and dry in the taste. Dusty? Peppery and really throat prickling this. A fun experience, but I doubt I'd be as exciting about this halfway down a full bottle. 11.06.2015

22oz bomber pours with a clear pale gold body that supports a weak white head. The aroma offers up ‘beer’ notes followed by chili pepper, floral hops, lavender, lime and then a modest shard of ginger spice. The taste delivers an initial blend of smooth soft sweet malts, some sweetened lime citrus and a building chili pepper meat sensation. The chili pepper note quickly ramps up into chili pepper hot burn all across the palate and reaching a non negligible level. Into the finish, noticeable below the chili pepper burn, is a murmur of flowery ginger spice. Interesting beer but if the chili burn was turned down a notch the improved balance would provide a better drinking experience.

Bottle. A- Chilies, limes, lemongras, ginger. A- Yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T-Very spicy, lime, chilies. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, spicy finish. O- This smelled fantastic. Like a bowl of Pho at a Vietnamese joint. Unbelieveable. The flavor was about the same except with a shit ton of chilies in it. Way to spicy and couldn’t even finish half a bottle. Too bad it’s not more mild.
