Pours dark orange with 1.5 fingers of foam. Aroma is primarily jalapeno - jalapeno that is baked a bit like jalapeno poppers - and a light edge of sweet fruit cup. Flavor is the same as aroma but there is a definite bitter edge at the end that yields to a fruity yeast breath. Body is medium and soft, pillowy even. This beer would be perfect except that it is missing spice. Perhaps jalapenos are not spicy enough to impart heat but their flavor is spot on. 4 stars but would be 5 with heat.
