A new contender for the worst beer I've ever tasted. Can I guess what one of the three peppers might be? Stewed tomatoes, beats, and cabbage. That's right, this beer tasted like DMS moreso than anything else I have ever tasted. I suppose those flavors have nowhere to hide in this style.

Looks great. Nice and pale golden with a great looking white head. Could probably use a bit more carbonation. It all goes downhill from here.

The smell seemed a bit off, but I couldn't quite place it. I just assumed it was some type of concept beer where they added several spices to a pilsner to see what turned up. When I took my first sip there was no mistaking it, however, that this beer was heavily tainted by DMS. It tasted like a carbonated V8 with sweeteners added. None of the beer flavors came through.

I'll maybe try it again later on in the season if they brew it again, but I honestly don't know why you would try to sell this stuff to people.
