What the brewers say
Pale Ale infused with Smoked & Fresh Jalapenos
What our panel thought
"Loads of meaty smoke-like notes jump out of the glass giving the impression of a roaring campfire. Roast and smoky notes merge with a peppery heat in the flavor along with a woody characteristic that furthers the campfire theme. The heat of the pepper lingers in the back of the throat well into the finish but it is not overdone or in anyway harsh. This unique and novel concept is actually fairly well executed and drinks exactly like you'd expect a spicy campfire to taste like. Smoked beer and pepper beer worlds collide, and the product is quirky yet cool and shockingly well delivered."
What our editors thought
"Smoked pepper in the aroma delivers exactly on the promise, with subtle sweet vegetal edges and a dose of straight char. Pepper heat is restrained in the sip, more flavor than capsaicin but with just enough subtle heat, and the flavor-forward approach gives it an unexpected drinkability. It's a touch light on the smoke, but makes up for that with delicious and full pepper flavor."
