WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Medium amber color
Vegetal, spicy, capsaicin aroma
Rich, tropical fruit flavors coupled with heat from the ghost pepper
Powerful heat, but still drinkable - "warmer"
Finish is crisp, heat lingers
