Bought at the brewery. I think it must have been some sort of horrible practical joke at my expense, by me.

Pours a golden colour, lots of carbonation bubbles feeding a mediocre head that dissipates quickly. Clear but a slight haze. Lace is non-existent. Extremely meh.

Smell is kind of nutty, but with an odd sweetness. A fair amount of chilli oil character, quite unpleasant really, pongy and phenolic and almost rotten. Certainly not appealing. At all.

Taste is hugely strong and vegetative, yeah lots of fruit tang on the front, then mega massive chilli hit, hugely spicy with just nothing but chilli on it. There's no flavour or complexity, just a massive chilli heat, from chilli. Congratu-fucking-lations, Myponga. You've put chillis in a beer. What talent. What innovation.

Thin and bland feel, just hot from the chillis. Pretty awful.

A boring - yet overpowering - undrinkable puddle of redneck piss. Quite an achievement, really - they've managed to make a beer that is dull as anything, yet also hugely repellent and unpleasant. Should I laud the Myponga brewery for producing undrinkable beer? They've been remarkably consistent and this just crowns it all off.

Served blind to me by @laituegonflable. I believe it must have been some type of horrible practical joke.

Pours a very cloudy orange-golden colour with almost no head. Some large-bubbled rings around the edge that leave no lacing whatsoever. Looks a bit rank.

Strong, pungent and immediately repellent aroma of rotting pumpkin. Slightly sweet, but slightly rank and horribly organic. This is pretty appalling. I can't even bear thinking about having to put this in my mouth.

Oh fuck's sake. It's a chilli beer as well (ed: remember, it was served blind). Huge welling of spicy prickling that just wallows around the truly horrid sweet overripe pumpkin-pepper flavour. Rotten: it's absolutely fucking rotten. Feel is bloated with sweetness but bombarded with needless spice.

This has no redeeming features whatsoever. Absolutely appalling; one of the worst beer experiences I've ever had.
