22 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Way over carbonated, took a while to pour; but not infected. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big jalapeno peppers, skin/seeds, lemon, peach, pear, red apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, wood, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of jalapeno peppers, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of big jalapeno peppers, skin/seeds, lemon, peach, pear, red apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, wood, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy bitterness; and jalapeno pepper spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of jalapeno peppers, skin/seeds, lemon, peach, pear, red apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, wood, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome robustness and balance of jalapeno peppers, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with an awesome malt/bitter/spiciness balance; and no astringent hop/pepper flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness and carbonation. High carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Minimal lingering pepper heat though the glass. Overall this is an awesome pepper flavored American blonde ale. All around great robustness and balance of jalapeno peppers, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Over carbonation was not detrimental to drink-ability at all. Awesome balance of vibrant jalapeno peppers, pale/wheat malts, earthy hops, and restrained fruity yeast. Zero residual sweetness with crisp carbonated dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive style example. Not overwhelming on peppers. Would love to try again fresh. They can this now, so probably a few years old on the bottle.

On tap at One Well. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Strong chili pepper aroma. Flavor is chili pepper, pale malt, no real spiciness after an initial hit. It's alright.
