326 Tempest Brewing Dios Mio! Jalapeno IPA United Kingdom Spiced Beer 3.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

Bottle. Colour - goklden orange, quite cloudy, weak off-white head, mild lacing. Aroma - jalapeno comes through nicely, some weak tropical fruit notes, hay, and bread. Mouthfeel - medium bodied, mild carbonation. Flavour - starts off with tropical fruit notes with a small buildup of peppery spice. Nothing 'hot' but the spiciness does catch the throat. almost a gimicky beer.
