Draught at MW’s 8th anniversary, 10/17/15.
Clear, very light golden body has a small white head that quickly fades to a ring.
Incredibly fresh habaneros in the nose provide the bulk of the aroma, with a touch of light honey, dry cracker-like grains and just a pinch of yeast-derived fruitiness. Very light, though you can tell the habaneros are there for sure.
And so it goes in the flavor, which is bursting with tons of fresh pepper spiciness. Fleshy, light, bright and enjoyable, it nonetheless comes off as a bit of a one-trick pony. Which is fine. Ilegal Ale-ien is a pretty straightforward drinkin beer with a fairly low flavor profile. Thus, this comes off as a light, habanero-infused golden ale. Very short finish, without a ton of actual heat. Very light bodied, little malt structure, no sweetness to be found. Would be great mid-July.
