Pours a mostly clear yellow color. Smell had faint smoke and hops. Taste was very good perfect amount of smoke with the heat from the peppers it was integrated well with this IPA. Mouth feel was perfect nothing overboard, loved the subtle smoke and pepper.

This just was not my thing. The heat builds up and then whacks you pretty hard. That does not add anything to a nice IPA for me. However, others at my table thought it was quite good. So if you like the heat, give it a try.

Perfect level of heat. Fairly basic beer in the background, but this hits chile beer on the head. Quaffable, refreshing, and delicious. Wish they'd can it.

You will really have to like spicy hot if you are going to enjoy this beer. The heat creeps up on you, but then it hits hard. I had a hard time finishing this beer and I generally like hot and spicy foods. In my opinion, it was a flavor best left with food, not beer.
