Sampled from the tap at the Oklahoma Craft Beer Festival. Pours a clear pale yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is fresh jalapeno/green pepper backed by sweet grains. Flavor is grain and bread up front with a nicely balanced pepper note coming through.

Bottle purchased in Kansas - pour doesn’t look like much - hazy copper with low carbonation and a very thin ring of lace - the peppers hit the nose first - no spice, really, but rather the underlying sweetness of them, especially the jalapeno - nothing too vegetal, thankfully - under that is some clean, sweet maltiness - the flavor is like "how to do pepper beer 101" - dry, crisp, crackery maltiness and a moderate hop bite serve as a nice base to the heat from the peppers - pepper flavor is minimal and the heat is strong but not overpowering (unless you don’t like spiciness, I guess) - nicely done - word to the wise: if you don’t like spicy food, don’t drink spicy beer - done.

Pour is a sick looking yellow with a small white head. Aroma is exactly like fresh cut green peppers. Flavor is overcooked peppers with an intense heat after the swallow. Probabily good for cooking but awful for drinking.

Bomber from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours a hazy dark orange/gold with a foamy near white head. Aroma is pepper - not particularly spice, but the veg/chili aspect. The flavor is peppery though. And the veg aspect remains, but there’s a firm chili burn. And that seems to be the finish. Could be the best chili beer yet.

This is a really good pepper beer. If you want HOT pepper flavor with a clean, flawless lager behind it, this is the beer to go to. Your lips will burn a little bit, your throat will feel the heat and at first you will be able to taste a nice clean lager as well. I don’t really see the problem. This is by far the best beer Weston has made to date.

22 oz bottle purchased at Red X in Riverside, Missouri. Rated as Brew Labs No.2 Hot Pepper Ale. Pour is hazed orange golden with a one inch white head that falls fizzily. Aroma is fresh and hot pepper, earthy vegetable and the clean bright hot of the Serrano. Fresh and clean nose. Taste is the green vegetable along with a bright spice Serrano chili taste. There is not much too the base beer which works well to highlight the clean and spicy chili pepper. Some gentle breadiness is present to balance a bit. Palate is thin to medium bodied relatively bright and active carbonation with lingering spicy pepper. A touch watery as it warms. The aftertaste is really pleasant, and even can feel the heat on my lips. I really enjoyed and thought it was an excellently executed pepper beer. Nice job Weston.
