After retiring the
"roller-coasting monks" from my Habanero Ale labels, I searched for a new subject to grace this popular hot pepper beer. In a series of Google searches including the term "hot stuff" this little devil kept showing up, so I let him strut his hot stuff for this batch. I thought it appropriate to use something of a "cartoon character" for this one, because I got a little silly when deciding to amplify the "red ale" appearance of the beer by steaming a red beet until I had a bright red broth in which to dissolve my bottling sugar. The result is a bit surprising, to see a beer with a pink head, a red body, the flavor of a habanero pepper, and the nutritional characteristics of a 6.5% abv homebrew.
The devil's in the details!
Enjoy!
