12 ounce bottle, 7/1/16. Slightly hazy amber, thin foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of fresh jalapeno and pale malt. The taste is fresh peppers, pale malt, fresh, green somewhat piney hops. Medium bodied, well balanced. Nice!

Draft: Powerful aroma of sumac, peppery green leaves, soil. Clear amber, medium head, good lacing. Anaheim chiles and jalapenos, mild DMS? Medium body, easy carbonation, mild pepper heat. Hard to discern DMS in a beer like this, but I have to defer to whether or not I enjoy it. In this case, I’m not crazy about it.

12oz bottle. Poured a clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma was nice jalapeno notes. Not very strong spice notes, but that jalapeno flesh notes. Flavor was mild, earthy hops, light malts. Touch of hops are there, light citrus. Heat hits after the initial sips. Nice spice, not overly spicy, so it’s a lot easier to drink one, maybe two at once.
Wonderful nose, not abrasive. Could drink a couple.

From a 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear gold with an off white head. Strong jalapeno aroma - you don’t have to get your nose in the glass to smell it. Flavors are more subdued, on the grassy side with some citrus undertones. Finish is moderately spicy and bitter.
