12oz can poured into a snifter glass…

=====

Look
Poured a very turbid, murky apricot color with a 4 finger foamy head

Smell
pineapple, pine resin

Taste
Sweet pineapple and HEAT. Bitter, boozy, hops, and pine. Stays hot for a long time!

Mouthfeel
Heavy and viscous, decent carbonation, and a slow sipper simply because of habenro heat.

=====
Really enjoy this beer, but because of the heat it was a slow, slow slipper. I think the sweet, spice, and bitterness are nicely balanced. I appreciate it's originality, but would likely not get it again because it's so slow to drink due to spiciness.

very sweet, malty. not getting any heat from this bottled version. not getting any heat from the 9.9% abv either, but it is a little disappointing after having a few of their very good beers.... give me some heat, please, if you're gonna put HABANERO in the title.....
