On tap at VCBW Festival 2016, pours a cloud orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of jalape�o spice, not much else. Flavour is dominated by the jalape�os, not much else to say. A spice bomb. Not unpalatable, but just pretty damn spicy. Not to my taste.

Amber and a bit hazy, no head. Has a strong jalape�o aroma, canned and vinegary. The beer itself is hot, lots of jalape�o and has a bit of toasty, malty character. A bit unbalanced.

Tasting at Josh’s
Hazy red-amber color, no head. The aroma is earthy as expected from the jalapeño, perfumy, soapy. Medium body, light residual sweetness, some malt flavor, and medium chili hotness.
Well, it’s not too bad.

On tap at Ridge, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lactose and burnt malt upfront. Flavour is scorched, with burnt malt, some lactose, and a little roast. Seems infected - no smoothness or anything. Burnt and off-putting. Bad.

On tap at Ridge, pours a cloudy dirty orange with a small white head. Aroma is quite sweet, with cough syrupy sweetness and resinous hops - not balanced well. Flavour is about the same, with out of balance resinous hops and caramel malt sweetness. Very malty and rather medicinal / cough syrup. Not good.

On tap at Ridge, pours a hazy deep dark amber with a small white head. Aroma and flavour is rather restrained, with toasted malt, cereal notes and a weird candied sweetness. Poorly constructed and not much of anything going on.

On tap at Ridge, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is light, with bready malt and cereal malt. Flavour is similar, with bready malt, some cereal malt and a dry cracker. Doesn't really taste like an authentic bitter. Meh.

On tap at Ridge, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is sort of skunky, with boiled vegetables. Flavour is the same, with boiled vegetables and skunked grassy notes. Something wrong here - not offensive but really off.
