12 oz can, $2.49 single at HyVee Ankeny. Clear, straw-colored helles pour, under a sudsy head. Smell is mostly light malty helles, with just some green chiles at the edge. Taste is actually pretty well balanced. I get light lager malt at first, and THEN a slow-building burn, mostly of fresh jalapeño. But the habanero stays pretty closely behind. I'm a guy who claims chili beer as a favorite style. So I try be authoritative in saying this a good chile-head beer, and a proper heat match to the light style.

Liten burk från Kros Strain. Väldigt mörk brunsvart, närmre svart, men nätt liten försvinnande beige krona vid aggressiv upphällning. Mängder av mörk torkad frukt och fat i kombination. Russin, torkad aprikos, fikon, katrinplommon. Stor sötma som balanseras upp något av lätt syrlighet från de fruktiga tonerna. Viss ton av umami doftmässigt, men inget som stör. Stor, kletig, fruktigt söt som ett portvin/sherry och sen fat. Dekadent gott.

Burk från Nebraska. Mörk svartbrun med liten beige krona. Oerhört fruktigt, massor av russin, katrinplommonjuice, fikon, kolaremmar, fat. Dekadent, gott och samtidigt väldigt clean. Svårt att säga någon preferens mellan denna och Blanton's.

Deep, relatively crisp amber and copper coloured body with a pretty thin, very fast-dying tan head that caps the beer for a few seconds and fades entirely with a little haze under the surface here. Aroma of toasted grain, light citrus fruit, some hay and flowers with a lot of bready and yeast notes showing at the end and some light bitterness from the malts along with a touch of alcohol even, in the finish. Light to Medium-bodied; Pretty malty and grain-forward flavours come out at first, as you'd expect from the style, with a lot of pungency and bitterness and a light kick of lemons and cleanser towards the end, as well. Aftertaste shows some deeper and robust malt flavours with the grain, bread and even biscuity flavours really coming through near the end with some additional bitterness from light hops, a dash of hay and flowers, with some subtle caramelised sugar sweetness near the end, but not enough to surpass the deep malts and yeast here. Overall, a decent enough beer that really showcases the style nicely and provides the flavours and complexities that you'd expect for the style, but a lot of dry characteristics through that provide some pungent bitterness and complexity. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Hy-Vee [grocery] in Papillion (Omaha), Nebraska on 26-August-2021 for US$2,49 sampled at my house here in Washington just over a year later on 07-November-2022.

Flaska från Kros Strain, 2022. Murken, lite kloakbrun med smutsbeige krona. Mängder av russin, bränt socker, plommonjuice, hög sötma, fikon. Fat, oxidation, söta Bourbon-toner. Fantastiskt gott.
