Draft at Bad Jimmy’s. I had this one twice. The first time I was positive I had a bad batch of some sort, or that something had gone wrong. I asked for the bartenders recommendation, they said this was the one to get at the moment. I trusted, took notes, and made my assumption. A month later, I gave it another shot. I suppose it is what it is. Hazy glowing orange pour with a fading head. Sugar candy sweet aroma that reminds me of candy peach rings. Flavor is like soap. Not like soap, it is soap. Finishes peach tropical fruit, and an odd lotion like reminder. The base seems workable here, but the kiwi cherry refused to get along with it. At least it didn’t work for me. Strange. Sounds great on paper though.

Sample at Tap House Grill. Hazy reddish-amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of peppers, malt and a bit of fruit. Medium body with a spicy chili pepper character, with touches of malt and fruit in the background. The finish is spicy with a peppery aftertaste. One-dimensional and average all around.

Draft 5 Oz pour at the brewery. Pours a clear pale color with a thin fizz head. Pepper, salt water, and Belgian yeast aroma. Flavor is limey. Margarita hint. Pepper flavor but barely any spice. A beer with a ton of pontential, but a little off for me.

I have had this twice now and I can definitely agree with McBerko that despite being full of habanero, which is awesome but the beer is crap. Everything at Bad Jimmy’s is bad. I can’t tell why except that it’s poor beer. This is the best bc it has spicy hot peppers to take away from the rest of the beer.

On tap at Bad Jimmy's, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Nose brings out faint oranges and a touch of honey. Flavour is similar, with oranges and honey, over a wheaty backbone that is pretty obscured. Not very interesting, but nothing overly wrong with it.

On tap at Bad Jimmy's, pours a hazy bright orange with a small white head. Nose brings out fresh raspberries upfront over a wheaty backbone. Flavour is along the same lines, with obscured raspberries and a biscuity malt backbone. Pretty simple but at least clean. Meh.

On tap at Bad Jimmy's, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out dry cocoa, no vanilla and a touch of roast. Flavour brings out the vanilla upfront, followed by cocoa, with a bready malt body. Not much going on here besides the vanilla. Decent, but unexciting.

On tap at Bad Jimmy's, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out herbal hops and some diacetyl. Flavour brings out loads of diacetyl and some fresh fruity hops. Loads wrong with this. Fix the infection.

On tap at Bad Jimmy's, pours a deep dark brown / black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out vegetal and burnt notes. Flavour is nasty and massively burnt, with burnt roasted malt. This is pretty disgusting. Drain pour.

On tap at Bad Jimmy's, pours a hazy amber orange with a small white head. Nose brings out biscuity malt but not much else. Flavour is restrained, with biscuity malt and some almost cake-like notes. Pretty bland but inoffensive. Meh.
