Ballast Point Thai Chili Wahoo White
Vital Statistics
From the brewer
Our Thai Chili Wahoo is a favorite in our tasting rooms for its complex balance of heat and spice. Orange and coriander have long been a part of our trademark Wahoo White. In this edition, we added a dose of Thai chilis, even more heat from ginger, and a counterpunch of lime. The flavors in this beer need to be experienced first-hand, so grab one and try it for yourself.

Interesting chili flavor, starts like jalapeno but moves oddly to the top of the palate instead of the tongue. Mellows out very nicely in the wheaty wheat funk finish. Other wit qualities come from the lime, but thankfully, no overt Belgian flavors which I think would have been a detriment. Heartburn city!
Thai chili is Front and center in the flavor and aroma here. Ballast Point doesn't mess around with the chili although this isn't nearly as strong as the habanero Sciulpin. Lime and ginger round out the balance with the underlying, mellow wit.
