Hot Pursuit
Big Ugly Brewing Company

 

Bought a pint can at the Casual Pint in Virginia Beach Va. You could call this one either a Blonde Ale (American) or a Chile Beer. Other than the chili, it is a fairly bland, easy drinking brew. The chili was done just right!!!!! It provides a warming bite at the end that does not make the drinker suffer like Ghostface Killah or other Scovill Scale-busting beers!!!! First pour gives a clear gold color and a big fizzy head with better than average retention. Subsequent pours lead to a more hazy gold color. All pours resulted in patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma is practically non-existent and the flavor is pretty mild - up o the finish where there is a nice peppery "warming". Mouthfeel is light but not watery. The pepper provides a nice little bite that raises the beer up a bit from "lawnmower beer" status. Not a beer I would seek out again, but a model for the use of hot peppers that other, more flavorful beers could follow.
