Mixtape - Carolina Reaper
Rhythm & Brews Brewing Company

16 ounce can from now defunct brewery in Cambridge, Ontario. What could go wrong - a kettle sour with Carolina Reaper peppers purchased in July of 2021. Summary: Carolina Reaper Peppers, old can, closed brewery.
Pours a clear pale yellow with an aggressively (audibly) effervescent fine creamy two fingers of white head. Dissipates and then has appearance of white wine.
Grainy, doughy, yeasty nose with hint of minerality and vegetal notes of the peppers.
Up front almost sweet and fruity on the palate, with a subsequent tart and spicy assault - heat especially at the back of the palate, down the esophagus and, depending on the aggressiveness of the swallow, retro-nasal burn. Heat gradually spreads across the entire mucosa, though most notably the lips and the posterior palate. Vegetal flavours of the peppers - certainly spicy but not oppressively so.
Light mouth feel with prickly carbonation and a building pepper burn.
Clearly a niche beer - I like heat and this works for me, though I suspect I would be in the minority.
