On cask at Blue Palms

A: The beer pours a fairly clear golden color with that typically soapy white head.

S: There is a decent hit of chile pepper and heat on the nose with some nice citrus hop notes to it. Mildly sweet with a bit of malt and bread aroma. Light aromas of grass and pine hops in the background.

T: A bit earthy note which I assume is from the peppers. Only a mild heat to the beer with moderate bitterness from some piney hops. Light citrus and grass notes give the beer what hop flavor it has.

M: Medium in body with a low carbonation, which was to be expected.

O: For a chile beer, this is surprisingly okay. Not great by any stretch, but drinkable.
