    Bottle from Stoutlover72 - the pepper head. Light honey golden pour with minimal head and lacing. Huge fresh cut pepper aroma, HOT pepper aroma, very light wet wheat in the background along with a touch of malt sweetness. Huge hot pepper flavor, actually hotter than I expected it would be, nice little burn in the back of the throat, some wheat and grain sweetness, a touch of basic wheat beer-ness, then more hot peppers... Different, tasty, HOT - paired this with a hot and spicy fried chicken sandwich and it was damn near perfect with it. Tall glass of water then milk followed. Thank you Garrett!

    22oz bottle -

    What a friggin' amazingly tasty beer. I love it when a brewer produces a quality beer that seems tailor made for someone with my tastebuds, and this one does it just about as good as can be. A HUGE aroma of jalapeno's, green pepper, light wheat and a touch of what seemed like brine or saltiness. Flavor had a great display of pepper flavors, ranging from jalapeno to serrano's with a heat level that I'd put around a 8 from 1-10. This would go fantastic with some quality Mexican food. Loved every sip and will look for this again. Be forewarned however, as this is not for those that don't like spicy flavors. If it's spice you want to avoid, then avoid this. Loved it.

    ok...you think (or at least we did) when they say hot, it's not going to be HOT, but if you think that, you'd be wrong. This deep yellow ale smells intensely of fire roasted peppers (jalapeno, habanero, and a couple others for shits and giggles). nice aroma. the first sip, pleasant at first, get's you in the back of the mouth, then the throat, then the tummy, with it's surprising building heat. holy crap. the flavor is nice if you're a chili-head, but the scores on other sites reflect this beer's low drinkability. a sample size and it's quite nice, and usually the GABF judges are only having samples, so it's won there more than once. but in a 22 ounce bomber, you better have some sharing going on. we split the 22, and my wife took a couple sips of mine, and it was still a chore to try and finish. definitely has it's place, and I'll get it again at $4.50, but must be shared...preferably by 4-6 people. unique if a bit over the top, tasty but low drinkability due to the intensity.
