Sriracha Beer

[IMABEAST]

Has anyone tried this? Had it in my car but could do it for 15$ without a recommendation.

Pretty much not good. At all.

Great to cook with ... Wasn't great to drink however

 

[Sirspanksalot]

After last night looking at that makes me wanna throw up lol

 

[IMABEAST]

Lmao! Thank goodness I didnt buy it. I was going to drink it. Nice as a novelty for a home bar or something though.

Tried some on Sat night. Would be great for cooking. That's about all.

I was actually really disappointed there wasn't much heat. I expected more n

Maybe you have a high spice tolerance. The guy at the register told me it was pretty spicy.

Well, I only had a small cup. I'm guessing it probably heats up as you drink through it.

That sounds about right. I couldn't imagine it NOT being spicy, with the packaging job they do on it.

Yeah, I hadn't really thought about it, but a)I had just eaten a large hotdog with jalapenos all over it, so my palate was already pretty desensitized to heat, and b)I only drank maybe 4oz.

I had another beer from @NWSmoke that was very mild at first, but built in heat as we drank through it, so it's probably a lot like that.

I'm a Pacific NW guy and would like to root for Rogue, but they are way too gimmicky. I don't touch their beer.

The other few Rogues I've tried were the Crustacean IPA and the Bacon Maple ale. Both were awful.

Their chipolte was the worst beer i put in my mouth.

On the flipside their chocolate mole beer was so good my fiancee is having me track down more

Seems general consensus is sriracha is good for hotsauce. Not so much for beer. And be wary of rogue in general. Awesome marketing though. Almost had me. I went with Vineaceous by a local brewery, Hangar 24 instead. That and some gnarlywine by lagunitas.

I realize I'm pretty late to this thread, but I have to say I actually enjoyed this beer. Way more than I thought I would. I found the heat really well balanced and the base stout was solid. My only complaint was that while I got a mild heat, the actual sriracha flavor was absent. But as I'm reading the comments in this thread it's always safe to say, YMMV

And be wary of rogue in general.

Their Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout is very good
and Dead Guy Ale if you like the biscuity type of yeast taste

they probably have more offerings that are worthy, but these are the only two that pop into mind at the moment

if anyone is seeking a beer with legitimate heat, seek out the Habanero Sculpin.

Or Space Ghost by Central Waters. Imperial stout brewed with Ghost peppers. So hot I couldn't finish it. Said because it had a great base beer.

Is it a good beer or just a spicy beer? I've seen it at bevmo... I think.
