Don’t Be Afraid
Fonta Flora Brewery

Look: It pours orange-yellow with a bit of hazing. It has a white head with average head retention.

Smell: It has tropical aromas with a bready backbone. There are some flowery elements in the background.

Taste: It has tropical favor and then the peppers him. For me, the heat is moderately high as far as heat goes. There are some other spicy elements and of course plenty of pepper flavors in the finish.

Feel: It has a moderate body with tropical elements up front and then the peppers hit with plenty of heat.

Overall, the flavors are good but the heat is a little more than I like. I really would enjoy it more if it wasn't to hot for my tastes. For those who like hot, what a beer.

Just a quick drink tonight. Been in my fridge for over 6 months. Pours out juicy cider color but on the orange side. Smells fruity and inviting. Tastes like a juicy ipa, full of orange and mango and lemon but then the heat hits ya and WOW just knocked me off my chair. This is a warm inviting kind of spiciness that hits the whole mouth, throat, and cheeks. Lingers for quite a while too! Love it! One of the better spicy beers I’ve had. Mouthfeel is smooth thin and bubbly. Overall a knockout. This wins big points on the intense heat, which I find quite favorable in a brew.

Oh, I was afraid. So much so that I would not touch it until my local bottle shop broke it into singles …pours orange and clean, but opaque. Aroma is interesting ..you get the citrus, but the peppers are there too. Some heat on the nostrils, the first sip was easier than expected. This is good, not just hot. There is an above average pale ale fighting it out with Carolina Reaper. Very interesting. Spoiler, with each sip it becomes clear the peppers win out, but this is a decent beer. Not an everyday drinker, but good for every now and again.
