21/04 A 0.33 l bottle from Ammersin liquor store, Vienna. It poured hazy orange body with medium sized head. Caramel malty, then earthy, yeasty and a bit lemony to alcoholic aroma. Flavor was dominated by nice orange note, showed some brown sugar that added to elegance, boozy spices and also touch of nuts. MEdium to full in body with longer, warming caramel and other malts in finish. Quite nice and really drinkable despite being heavy and cloying.

16/04 A 0.33 l bottle from Ammersin liquor store, Vienna. It poured hazy golden body with small had and ton of yeast floating. Weak red mild pepper aroma spiced up with lemony and herbal hops. A bit hot flavor, earthy, fine chilli notes felt now, and as it usually gets, they become stronger towards the finish. Nothing too hot, really pleasant, well blended with herbal dryness and weak bread malts. Medium bodied. Sure, if not the best, then one of the top chilli beers around, nothing excessive like these can get.

Angenehm hopfiger, wenig süßer Antrunk. Süffig, etwas grasig, die Hopfigkeit steigert sich noch etwas. Leicht alkoholisch, passend. Gut! 11/12/12/11/10/11

Wässriger Antrunk mit angenehmem Chiliaroma. Danach wird das Bier schärfer aber geschmacklich langweilig. Laff bleibend. 9/8/5/5/7/5

Bottle, heavy’s. Poured a misty golden body with a small white head. Nice dusty herbal aromatic hop with some peppers in the nose. This actually struck a fine balanced between a nice herbal hopiness blended wonderfully with the pepper flavors, ending in a burn that’s anything but excessive. This must’ve been reformulated, the ABV change might prove that. Now, it’s actually one of the better chili beers around.
