Chilies comes in totally several sizes, shapes and degrees of hotness or spiciness. The plenty far more mature the pepper, the hotter it is going to be. A sweet bell pepper measures 0 SHU when a habaneros or scotch bonnet, 1 of the hottest identified chili peppers, information at around 300,000 SHU. Not sizzling enough? Then attempt naga jolokia, the hottest chili in the earth which holds 1.04 million SHU.

Thanks for the input Glass Bottles. I didn’t really think it was a bad beer, just when I think of the top winners from around the country, I expect a bit more. Maybe my expectations are too high. However, we have to remember that this was the winner of the employee competition. Boston Beer Co has 780 employees (http://www.answers.com/topic/the-boston-beer-company-inc). I am sure not all the employees enter, but if you figure 3/4 of them do, that is still quite an acheivement to beat out that many other homebrewers. Heck even if only 100 of them enter, that would be like winning BOS in a mid-sized competition. So I don’t want to take away from it, I thought it was very good (But not outstanding) and I will drink the other two in the six pack without any problem.

I tried this one also, I was not impressed at all. I have come to expect more out of Sam Adams, so the next one should be very good!
