Vital Statistics
From the brewer
This Jalapeño Imperial IPA is fresh from the onset, with a quartet of bright hops playing off zesty jalapeño heat. A lustrous head retains the citrusy combination of Centennial, Sterling, Magnum and Apollo hops. Fresh jalapeños are used not only during brewing, but also after fermentation for a pleasant aroma, full-bodied flavor and genuine picante kick. A sweet bready malt backbone provides balance to the peppery fire.

This beer takes the fragrance of both hops and jalapeno without the accompanying bitterness or spice and melds them quite well. A fair bit of caramel, too. The flavor at first is jarringly odd, but settles very quickly into a mellow, flavorful brew.
Pleasant spiced edge that doesn't linger like other "jalapeno" beers. Pairs well with the IPA hop finish.
