Overall it's a pretty decent Jalapeño beer. So where do we stand? Have I covered everything? Look, smell, taste, feel. I'm not finding any hops in it although I'm sure there's some there, and to be honest, they don't really need to show, this is really about the balance between the golden malts and the peppers - which, oddly, seem to be subsiding, but I can only assume that that's just my palate getting used to them, or being subdued by them. As for the body, it's medium, and the carbonation has been kept minimal, most likely so as not to accentuate the peppery acidity. There's hardly any bitterness to it, and it finishes sweet and spicy, but that actually works out great. I'm afraid it might become too much for me. The more I sip at it the more the heat grows, and now my lips are tingling. Ahh, yes, I can see there's some under there. I'm kind of missing the Belgian yeast aspect of it but perhaps that's because the Jalapeños are throwing me off a bit. It's bready, and perhaps a little doughy and sweet, but nice, and the heat from the Jalapeños balances it nicely. ahhh, it's not nearly as hot as I'd imagined, and some nice malt comes through. Given that the Jalapeños have commanded the aroma and nothing else has gotten through I'm a little apprehensive, fearing that it will be quite hot but I like some, most, a lot of pepper beers so let's see. Personally I love the aroma, it's completely authentic, and fresh, and lively and peppery and spicy! Fiesta time! OK, on to the flavor. It certainly smells like Jalapeños, I could smell them when I poured it, so if that's your thing they've got you covered. and now the surface has broken and it's receding to just an average collar - that's not a good appearance, but maybe that's got to do with the oils from the Jalapeños. As I'm looking at it it's dwindling, which is not good. Let's hope it's good! It's poured a somewhat hazy deep golden body beneath a finger thick head of off-white foam. Notes via stream of consciousness: A whole big bottle of Jalapeño (spelled Jalapeno on the label) Tripel for me? I don't think I can handle it. brown glass bottle - seemingly without production codes or freshness dating although there is a light impression of what seems to be numbers on the upper left hand side of the label running perpendicular to the base of the bottle.
