It had a quick finish with jalapeno flesh and ribs and metal. The body was on the medium side with light carbonation. The booze was hidden but the metallic and rusty taste was so off putting that I had trouble drinking this at times. It was more like a fresh jalapeno note as opposed to a pickled one. Once I got through that, I picked up jalapeno spice at the end that hit me right in the back of the throat. The taste had way more malt than I expected and a weird rusty taste up front. The nose had slight pepper spice and grassy hops. The body was a clear amber color with light carbonation. It dissipated quickly and left limited lacing on the glass. I poured this beer and got a one finger, slightly off white head. Random: I love fresh jalapenos from the garden. Never would Scoville have imagined such a fitting match for the world’s perfect pepper.”

With a moderate malt profile, this culinary concoction offers both an easy drinking IPA and a bowl full of jalapeños without the burn of bittering one might expect. Trivia: According to the brewery website, “An artisanal style IPA combining mildly bitter hops, garden fresh jalapeño peppers and cilantro. When I saw Val picked this beer up for me, I thought it was right in my wheelhouse. Now, I order things extra spicy most of the time and it’s a crisis in the house if we run out of hot sauce. When I was a kid, I hated anything spicy.
I thought this was a good example of a domestic hefeweizen and would have it again for sure.Īs I get older, I enjoy spicy foods more. This beer was $1.83 a can, which came to $.15 per ounce. The finish was lengthy with the banana and white grape. The beer had moderate carbonation and was a decent thickness. It had a touch of Mandarin orange segments, but also some green apple and white grapes. The taste was like a normal hefeweizen with banana and bubble gum. It started with banana and some grain and had a note of white grapes as well. The body was mildly cloudy and bright yellow with some carbonation visible. It took a long time to dissipate and left significant lacing on the glass. The beer poured with a generous three finger, pure white head. With this hefeweizen, there’s no fruit required - we’ve got that covered.” Trivia: According to the brewery website, “A german style hefeweizen that combines traditional notes of clove and banana with subtle citrus aromas and flavors to provide balance and complexity. I could have eaten about 10 of those and they probably would have gone well with this beer. My favorite thing was the grilled avocado with ponzu sauce. Food is served tapas style, so you can get a bunch of different things and try them. We went to brunch last time at Izakaya and it was really good. I always look forward to going to DC because the food down there is awesome. Tonight’s selection is a beer that I picked up during our last trip to DC. I enjoyed this beer, but I wish it had a little more balance. A can of this beer was $1.83, which broke down to $.15 per ounce. It had a lengthy finish with caramel sweetness. The body was thick and chewy for the style with light carbonation.
The nuttiness was more muted in the taste than the nose. The taste was super malty with caramel, maple syrup and toffee. The nose had notes of maple, almonds and hazelnuts with some toffee at the end. The body was a deep and clear mahogany color with moderate visible carbonation. It went away slowly, not leaving much lacing on the glass. This beer poured with a huge, two and a half finger, tan head. Hits of roast and caramel lend to a slightly sweet malt with a semi-dry finish. Trivia: According to the brewery website, “Easy drinking and infinitely smooth, this amber ale is classic in style yet uniquely approachable. They weigh a lot less than bottles and if you’re having beer by a pool (which seems really attractive right now given it’s Winter), you have no risk of glass breakage. Hopefully we will continue to see a shift towards cans. Last year, when we had our family reunion, I exclusive got canned beers and people seemed to like them. I think the stigma of cans is finally starting to go away. I’ve been preferring cans to bottles and it looks like Jailbreak exclusively cans their beers. Tonight’s selection is another beer I picked up during a DC trip.
