Had on tap. Pours clear, gold in color with 1/2 inch head. Taste is pine, light chili pepper and earl grey tea. Light bodied, with medium-high carbonation. Interesting and can definitely taste both the chili and the ipa aspects to this beer. That said, I do not feel it really comes together well and is a pass for me.

This is their DIPA with habanero added to the mix.
Pours a light golden tan color,
There's a light dusting of hops with some chile aroma,
The heat comes across on each sip, a hot habanero sweetness which complements the orange and pine notes from the hops and ends with a clear, clean finish.

I filled a growler with this. They also called it Habernero Cousin. A little hard on your system. Taste great but finishing a growler could be a challenge. I was told it was Evil Cousin with peppers added that had been fermented in Vodka. Not for week stomachs. If you like evil cousin( Double IPA) and heat try it.

Pours amber with a quickly fading head. Heavy aroma of chilli/hot sauce along with some piny and resinous hops and clean malt. More chilli as a flavour along with earthy, resinous hops and a fair whack of clean malt to round things out.

Pours a thin head on a clear straw colored body.
The aroma is mild grain and pepper.
The taste starts with mild grain and bitterness, the heat kicks in at the middle to finish. Moderate heat but doesn't last, which makes it nicely drinkable.
The texture is crisp.
A nice and hot beer.
