It's funny how pretty much my favorite chile/pepper/chile-infused beers all seem to come from Institution. It's not a favorite style of mine per se, and I tried this particular beer on a whim and was very pleasantly surprised. It pours a hazy yellow, looking just like White Walls. But then the aroma hits you: sure, there's some of the floral and citrusy hops as well as the soft tortilla-like wheat backbone, but front and center are fresh vegetal peppers, with a spicy kick. The taste follows suit. It's not that hot, but it is definitely peppery. I could see this highlighting and complimenting Thai food, Mexican food, Indian food...anything spice heavy. Or if you just need to kick up your tastebuds for a bit and shake them down into flavor submission.
