When you look at the Scoville scale for spice index you immediately realize that jalapeno peppers just aren't going to do the trick. That's why we jumped on the Serrano pepper wagon right off the bat. Ultimately even THOSE couldn't please Chris, one of our owners so we turned to habanero peppers. Sunburn Pepper Beer features a pleasant malty backbone and even some citrus notes in the hops which helps absorb some of the heat from the peppers.
The beer is allowed to cure for several weeks, the heat slowly building as it steeps into the brew. By the time we put Sunburn on tap, you'll feel like you could use just a touch of aloe vera to cool things off.
Never fear though. We like to keep things subtle at Muddy Creek so you don't have to worry about immediately tearing up your mouth and throat. Like a real sunburn, the beer goes about it's business slowly and quietly.
