A Note on This Beer

*This beer is over 50% gone!*

Forget the kiddie pools, cranked AC, and ice baths — this Fruited Sour proves how cool it can be when things heat up. It’s garnered an impressive 4.35 Untappd rating from its Chicagoland fans! 

With over 2,000 pounds of pineapple packed into each habanero-spiced batch, the 6.5% ABV Heat Wave Turbine is like pineapple juice’s R-rated cousin. 

To create it, the brewers at Energy City dry-hopped it with Sabro for notes of mango and tangerine that elevate the tangy pineapple flavor. Then, they added a dose of habanero peppers for a spicy kick. The taste follows that chronology: first it’s sweet, then it’s spicy, and the next thing you know . . . it’s gone!

As record-breaking summer temps scorch the country from sea to shining sea, this spicy summer sipper hits like a refreshing gust of tropical air.

So grab some lime tortilla chips and mango salsa, fire up the grill, and crack open some of these crisp, juicy brews. This is the one heat wave you won’t want to hide from!

I guess I’m the only one here who can feel the heat on this one . I actually think it’s kinda spicy, but not over the top. Energy City Brewing added the right amount of kick to it this awesome sour ale! The Pineapple & Habanero Heat Wave Turbine has a great consistency of pineapple and spice, and with its smoothie-like texture, it gives for a real juicy flavor. This is incredibly delicious, it is like a legit spicy pineapple smoothie.

this isn't even beer, really? it's hooch, maybe, or generously it's a raddler. I mean, pineapple and habanero was OK together, but I'd rather have a pineapple salsa with chips and a Budweiser than this tragedy.

Bits of pineapples in the front and SPICY habanero at the back! Not my cup of tea but if you like spicy maybe it will be yours. Overall a decently good sour beer.

okay so it’s thick. the did not hold back on the pineapple purée. You get a nice tart pineapple hit when you take a sip, then when you swallow you can feel that prickly heat from the pepper. it’s almost like you took a shot of liquor but in a good way. will definitely be keeping my eye out for this

This beer does not hide - it tells you exactly what it is - and for that, high marks! Would be an even higher mark if it wasn’t for the initial smell.
