spice up your day

The Beer Garden is a little more "gourmet" than other beer stores have made themselves, with chocolate, jellies, and normally a selection of ciders or other alcoholic drinks besides the beer.  They also host a good variety of northern beers.  Pfefferkørner looks like it should be Danish, but the brewer is actually German, and not even especially northern German.  Who could turn down a German beer though?

Oh, hello

There's a nice whiff of pepper from the bottle, spicy, hot and enticing.  The beer is unassuming and regular in appearance, gold and whitely headed.  While the chili pepper beer did not have any particular flavor of chili, just heat mostly, we'll see how this one comes out.  It's not sharp or unpleasant at all, although the tickle of pepper does build up on the tongue from the first sip.  The spiciness is almost sweet, definitely playful.  The pepper is the star of the show, without any other flavor or odor providing a back-up distraction.  This is a fairly simple tasting beer, in that the one spice is dominant, but it's something different and fun.
