Dios Mio was on tap today for Cinco de Mayo at Andrew Usher in Edinburgh. I understand it's a brand new beer. According to the brewery, it's got jalapeno peppers and lime juice added to the IPA.

But those are secondary characteristics. This beer is primarily a Citra bomb, and I mean that as a compliment. It's got a ton of grapefruit in the aroma and the taste. Even without the chili heat, this would be a notable Citra focused IPA. It's not in Pliny territory, but that's the beer that Dios Mio reminded me of.

The hot pepper effect is pretty subtle, as is the lime juice. But I am aware that I routinely eat hotter food than most people, so "subtle" to me might be too hot, for somebody else.

Anyway, it's a very fine beer, and worth hunting for.

On tap a Cask Pub and Kitchen. Pours a pale gold with small head (soft pour) that leaves some lace. Nose is a combo of light tropical hops with some green pepper as well. Taste is very much the same. A medium-light tropical IPA in US terms, but has the green pepper mixing things up. No actual heat perceived. Overall, this was the kind of jalapeno beer I enjoy, where it isn't overdone.
