Turbid, light brownish-orange body; virtually no head; globs of yeast sediment. Earthy, grassy, somewhat citrus-like smell; funky; barnyard. Some chili flavors; band-aids. Flat and watery; smooth; somewhat astringent.
This beer is a mess. Looks bad, doesn't smell much better (my initial impression of the smell was of the sawdust-and-puke memories I have from grade school days -- although that nasty impression disappears -- but isn't really replaced by anything much better) and the flavors are a horrid mish-mash of dull, phenolic qualities. It has a very faint semblance to a wild ale and does deliver some chimayo chili heat and flavor, but nothing comes together or gels in any sort of coherent, appealing manner. I'll choke down this bottle, but it grieves me to think I have another one in my collection.
Update (10 minutes later): couldn't stomach it anymore - drain pour...

Body appears deep amber in color, still no head. Smell is much the same. Still just a twinge of chili flavor but at least the band-aid flavor is pretty much gone, otherwise rather dull with a metallic bitterness. Mouthfeel remains the same.
A slight improvement over my first bottle but hardly a winner. Perhaps the first bottle suffered from some sort of infection. Regardless, the remains of the second bottle also went down the drain.
