From the bottle labeled (best before 2015) and "Drink Fresh," it pours a hazy brown color with no carbonation. The nose gets some chilies, followed by the mouth getting the same. Can't say much else about it other than I should have tried it 10 years ago...

Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a muddy river color with no head whatsoever. Smell is of malts, some chili peppers. Taste is overwhelming with chili peppers, some malts are present, plenty of heat. Feels medium/light bodied in the mouth and overall the heat is to overpowering to make this beer enjoyable.

A- Caged 375ml to a few pint glasses for a share. Semi-hazy medium amber pour with a fluffy white cap. Decent head retention but nothing remains after just a few moments. No lacing on the glasses.
S- Really not much going on at all beyond the amber and agave spectrum of the brew. Sweetness from both the agave and some caramelized grains. A tiny hint of fruity esters.
T- As with the aroma the flavor profile follows and it ends up just being a bit uneventful or even bland. Medium caramelized sugars and a hint of toastiness leads to slight peppers and agave sweetness. A touch of apple fruit esters.
MF- Light-medium bodied overall thickness with a ever so slightly creamy texture. High end carbonation leads to a hint of pepper heat in the finish.
Sweetness in the form of caramel and agave up front with a touch of chile flavor and heat beyond that.

A - Clear toffee colored pour big head in the start that dies down quite fast.
S - Caramel toffee and chile peppers, overall aroma is light.
T - A lot of toasted caramel toffee malt and some peppers with a lingering heat in the back of the throat.
M - Big syrupy body texture, velvet with no carbonation.
O - This bottle has about (6) months on it, would like to try one that's more fresh and revisit the review. Not impressed, at least with this bottle.

Pours a dark golden color. Aromas of chilies, agave and a wee bit of pumpkin. A hot, spicy chili kick. A bit smokey with hints of pumpkin agave. This is a bit overpowering with the spice and chilies. It that's what you like, then you will like this. If you are looking of it to be toned down a bit more, this isn't for you.
