Unique in the Maritimes (and anywhere north of Santa Fe!), our Jalapeño Ale will cool you down and warm you up at the same time. Our refreshing Tall Ship Amber Ale is loaded with Jalapeño, Habanero, Scotch Bonnet, & Jamaican Hot Peppers to create a truly unusual brew. This beer is great for lovers of all things hot & spicy, and a killer secret weapon in the kitchen and on the grill.

Bottle. Yellow gold color aroma is ALL HOT PEPPERS (Jalapenos). The first sip... is actually not too bad. Malty pale lager kind of base with a moderate amount of peppery heat (you can actually feel this tickling in your nose). I couldn’t drink a full bottle of this, but it was fun to try.

Lighlty hazy golden amber ale with a thick off-white head. Malty aroma with strong mix of pickled jalapeno peppers and lactic acid. In mouth, very light malt with a sharp vinegary taste and some residual hot pepper notes. Has this beer turned bad or is it just plain bad. Watery pickle juice. Bought at brewery March 2005.

Hazy blonde colour with a nice off-white head. Aroma of pure chiles and some malt. Light to Medium-bodied; Spicey flavour with some noticeable malt, but little else than the heat. Overall, very interesting to try, I’m glad I had the opportunity! I sampled this beer on 15-May-2004 at the May RB Party in Toronto, Onatrio.

Golden colour, low carbonation, no head. Aroma is all jalape�o, maybe with some salt. All jalape�o all the time in the palate. It’s hot (around 7000 Scovilles), but not nasty like Cave Creek, although it has to be said that Radek fell on his ass while in the middle of taking a leak just following his half-bomber of this beer. There are certainly parallels in the big heat and lack of balance, and I know I’m a little biased because I actually finished my bottle of Cave Creek, but I thought this was a decent beer. There must have been enough of that blond ale base somewhere not to lose me, even though it isn’t readily apparent.

Re-rate shows this one to be rather insipid, moreso than on the first sample. Significant downgrade.
