Can. A- Blue corn chips, jalapenos. A- Amber color, clear liquid, minimal head. T- Blue corn tortilla chips, jalapenos. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly spicy finish. O- Lovely flavor but for a pepper beer, 16 oz is too much. Gives me heartburn. Well made, but if I am drinking this on it's own, it's a shareable can. Would be great for cooking.
