This is the chili-heads favorite brew. A mild base beer is spiced up with Anaheim and Serrano peppers. This beer has a wonderful green chili aroma and a touch of heat in the finish. Have it with tomato juice as a “liquid enchilada”.

Notes from October 2009 While I'm waiting for my beer to warm up, I might as well plug in some reviews I scratched down... Growler at Pete's RB Spring Gathering. Thanks Dorothy. :P Slightly unsettling, muggy yellow color. Wisp of pasty white head. Raw jalapeno nose singled out among a muddled produce section of smells. Taste is straight up corn tortillas, itchy malt, with just a nip of jalapenos & brighter green Italian peppers lingering on the follow-through. Spritzy carbonation, doughy, & slightly metallic. Chewy? Lots of fun. :)

Nonic draft at the brewpub in Columbia, Missouri. Pour is a slight golden orange with a minimal white head. Aroma is a bunch of pepper, fresh clean vegetable spice. It’s not super spicy pepper, just fresh vegetable pepper. That’s more or less the nose. The taste is less spicy than expected, just a nice clean beer with a crisp fresh pepper taste to it - more green pepper than spicy hot. The peppers carry the long finish, clean. Palate is medium bodied, lingering dry pepper. Nice pepper beer.

What the hell is wrong with you folks, you order a pepper beer and then aren’t happy when it is a perfect pepper beer? Clean, light white bread malts surround by peppers all around. The peppers are a bit hot but nothing too strong. I loved it, got a whole growler to go afterward.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a clear pale yellow color with a thin and creamy bone white head that recedes slowly. Thin sheet of lacing on the glass. Aroma of fresh chili peppers and a touch of malt. Medium body with a spicy chili pepper flavor along with some spice and malt in the background. The finish is spicy peppers with a hint of sweetness left over. Even trying to not think of Cave Creek while drinking this, it was still not very enjoyable.

Draft, 8/4/07. People know I likes me chile beers, so take this with whatever grain of salt you want:Hot, fresh chile smell, like Labor Day in Santa Fe. But that’s all I can smell. Just a pinch off from a pale lager color. Taste is hot, with Anaheims in the lead; nice for us chile heads. Light malts add some off-setting sweetness. Luckily, the burn does not last much past the end of the beer.

A pleasant surprise. Looks a bit dull in the glass, a lifeless pale gold. Aroma was curious and inviting, with a straight on green chili aroma, not much else in the nose though. Slight green chili flavors come to the fore, over what is otherwise a pretty clean thin and boring, but not bad, lager. I didn’t find it to have any heat or spice at all really, just the barest peppery kick in the finish. Still, faily well done as a chili beer.

On tap at Flat Branch. I thought I cleared my senses with the Cave Creek Chili Beer I recently sampled...but, alas, I ordered the Flat Branch version. The weak malt base could not overcome the pickled (laden with preservatives) chili pepper. The beer was softly carbonated and had a heavy feel on the tongue. Not spicy, however. Why? Why?
