A brew fermented in tequila barrels with a secondary fermentation that includes the use of jalapeños, apricots and agave nectar. On, and it's got Brett and Saccharo yeast strains swimming in there, too! Easily one of the weirdest beers I have ever tried. It was a cloudy, yellow color with no head. The aroma is decidedly hot with the jalapeños. It's also very funky smelling. Not picking up much barrel character but it's already wacky enough. The flavor is even weirder! Spicy jalapeños, lots of tartness and funk and a fruity, apricot flavor. The booze is hidden under all the oddities. I actually really enjoyed it. It was one of the most unique beers I have tried and while I couldn't drink a lot of it, this one will stick in my kind for quite some time. From a growler.

Says it’s a sour but it’s really wild. Doesn’t look or feel like any other thing you’ve tried, so try it. If you like strong beer and don’t have to drink anything else with a discerning tongue- get this
