Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Okay drop ... chilli well evident but not too hot ... pity you fools till you try a Steel City chilli beast!

24/3/2025. Bottle shared by danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear colourless with a few bubbles. Aroma is flowery, elderflower, honey, chilli. Huge chilli pepper burn on tasting, very firey. Medium sweetness, starts to develop a bit but is mostly suppressed by the heat. Medium body, no carbonation. Hard to enjoy this. Barely drinkable, just about sippable.
