The Ferm: Well another new brewery available on local shelves in the area is Twisted Pine Brewing from Colorado. While browsing through the shelves of my local Total Wine and More, Billy's Chilies sorta jumped out at me. I personally have only had one Chili/Spice Beer before, which was Founders Spite. This is a very different style of beer.

The beer pours Golden Yellow and Clear. I am not going to lie, it looked very similar to a standard American Lager. The nose wasn't anything crazy, it just smelled like fresh/ripe peppers. The odor of the beer carried over to the flavor, as there was nothing but heat available on the attack. The pepper flavor then lingered on a bit. Sadly, that's all I that got from this beer. Chili Heat dominates everything with the beer.

Personally I would have liked to have some flavor of the actual base beer. The base beer just seems very bland and boring. Regardless, this is a chili beer, lots of heat and very small amount of complex flavors.

While I would happily cook, with this beer I don't think I would buy more than one to drink.

Score: 3.22
