This is like a good (or at least better) version of Cave Creek Chili Beer. The brew is a pale straw-gold, translucent, and generally projects an Adjunct Lager look; aside from the pepper addition, it is like an AAL in all respects. The nose is quite akin to the spicy nacho cheese cup that you get with the chips at the movie theater; it is not bad, however, it is more like a guilty pleasure, or a harkening to days past. The flavor reiterates the theme with equal parts corn-chip and spicy serrano-jalapeno flavor. It is admittedly just a hair's breadth away from being a debacle, and yet it retains that hair's distance above. It is in that precise nailing of flavor that Billy's Chilies makes its mark; it is not just gimmicky, it is a paradigm of frill-added merchandise.

Drinking this at the brewery!!! This beer has five peppers in it! So it pours up a nice clear golden color with as mall white head. Aroma of Serrano and jalapeños. The peppers dominate the nose. Taste of pale malts and peppers!!! I love it. Just a kiss of spice. Light bodied, very smooth. Great pepper beer!!

Poured this 12 oz Chilie Beer from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Poured a clear golden color, produced an average white head, avg. retention and left little lacing on the glass.
The aroma consisted of smoked chilies. Medium bodied, a foundation of cereal grains- much like a simple lager- spicy hot chili peppers come through right away and dominate the brew. Not a lot of balance or complexity.

Small 1 1/2 finger white foamy head. Brew is very foggy yellow with lots of whites.

Heavy heat, as in spice. Jalapeno, Anaheim, and Fresno stand out.

Thin, watery, crisp, hiding heat that comes out in the finsh. Not sessionable, but nice and relaxed for the style. Some of the best flavors I've had for the style. Low carbonation, no sweetness, dry, earthy bitterness.

Recommended, for style.

As you can imagine, there was a very distinct aroma and taste to this beer. It was infused with 5 different peppers and they spicy after taste lets you know they're there. Interesting, but not a favorite by any means.

A - yellow with no head

S - huge peppper aroma, jalapeno seems to come through the most, reminds me of kettle cooked jalapeno potato chips

T - cooked peppers, faint grains, some heat in the finish which is warming and no where near unbearable

M - light, smooth, spicy, well carbonated

This is a decent chili beer. It's a bit simple though. It has a great pepper flavor which I think could be utilized in a more flavorful beer to make something a bit more intriguing. I probably won't buy this again, but I did enjoy it for what it was this time around.
