Don’t be fooled by her grin, this happy little bee is delivering something fiery to your beer – a ton of Habanero Peppers! Without her help in pollinating the peppers, this beer would not exist. Feel the sting!

Very dark amber kind of a copper with strange floaters. Spongy bone colored one finger of head. Nice lacing down the glass.
Vegetal smell.Smells like chili peppers with a bit of sweet honey, seriously! Almost picking up something like raisins.
Taste is kind of a thick sweetness with a bit of back heat. Something like a spicy caramel chewy candy.
Mouthfeel is a definite medium. Has a bit of a sticky finish that leaves a lingering heat that builds as you drink it.
An interesting chili beer for sure. I have a stickiness on my lips and a burn in the back of my throat. This beer was not served cold and I think it should be. I just chilled mine in the fridge a bit and I think as it warmed in the glass it became heavier. Saw some scary floaters on the pour that looked like bee stingers floating to the bottom, this seemed odd. I like spicy foods so the heat was not bothersome. The sticky residue on my lips was odd. Just have to say this is a wierd one and sits at a higher 7.1% ABV. Glad I had the opportunity to pick up a six pack while recently visiting Denver.

The appearance remains about the same, the aroma not so honey-centric. The taste retains a bold honey presence but the chili heat and flavor are more intense. The body, still relatively heavy, has more heat to it.
A bit of improvement pretty much across the board.
----------------------
Dark honey colored body; one-finger thick head; sticky and foamy. Sweet honey aroma. More honey flavor on first sip and then some slowly developing chili heat; caramel. Heavy body; somewhat flat; lots of residual sugar density.
An acceptable chili beer with strong honey overtones. It's a bit heavy on the residual sugars and the honey flavor, and while decent, this kind of clashes and makes for a rather disjointed tasting experience. Personally, I'd like to experience thinner mouthfeel on things and some minor dial-down overall honey sweetness. That approach would make for a better balance and add to the subtleties possible with honey and chili peppers.

12 oz can. Pours slightly hazy reddish gold with a medium fluffy off white head that retains well and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is vegetal chili spice and some sweet honey.
The flavor is sweet honey followed by a huge hot spice kick. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, lots of heat that plays nicely with the sweet honey.
