PooreBrothersJalapeno

My second bag of Poore Brothers while I am still in Denver, and I decided to take it up a notch and try something just a little bit spicier, and go with their Jalapeno chips. After tasting their fantastic Salt & Vinegar chips, I had great hopes for what they might bring to these chips. Unfortunately, perhaps those chips set the bar too high, but these chips failed to live up to my expectations.

While the taste has the distinct bite and taste of jalapeno chips that you would come to expect, it also shocked me by having a very salty taste to them as well. While the jalapeno taste is there, it is overpowered by the saltiness, and drags the chip down. With every chip, the taste gets more distinct and more powerful, but unfortunately, so does the salt.

The grease was slightly greater than the grease in the Salt and Vinegar, with a noticeable layer inside the bag. Not enough to make me not want to eat them, but enough to take notice. The crunch was even a little off from what was expected and not on par with the Salt & Vinegar I reviewed earlier.

The heat on this is very mild. I would place it at 2 for the slight bite I feel on my tongue as I eat them.

Overall, while they are a pleasant chip, they fail in the execution by not having a distinct jalapeno flavor, and for being very salty.
