    How much of a kick does it have? How does it compare in spiciness mouth-feel to that of eating a raw pepper or spicy food?

    I have not brewed this yet. I will brew it in two weeks, but I got the recipe from a guy in my homebrew club. It has a very creamy mouth feel and a surprising amount of heat. The batch I tasted had the seeds in it and I would gauge it as eating a mild jalapeno. Somewhere around 1,500 scoville, but that is just a guess. It was rated as one of the top beers at the Deland Craft beer festival.

    Nice! I would't have thought to make a spicy beer but this sounds delicious.

    I tried my first pepper beer back in November at the Sunshine Challenge beer competition and have been wanting to make one ever since.

    This beer turned out great. The base Cream Ale is what make this beer so good. The warmth of the Jalapenos on the back of your throat is what makes it unique. Not too spicy and very drinkable. Great with some BBQ or a nice thick steak.
