Kettle Brand Krinkle Cut Spicy Queso
I tried Lay's Southwestern Queso last year and they turned out to be pretty good, so that kind of cranked up the expectations when I found these at the local Kroger.
One moment for a brief digression: Note the cut off top of the package because of Kettle Brand's evil "easy-open" notch documented in the post for their Chile Verde chips. Hello, Snyder-Lance? Are you listening? Cease your evil ways immediately! A curse upon your head of packaging!
Now that I have that out of the way, on to the quest for the queso!
These chips had a reasonably pleasant scent of smoked paprika and cheese. I said "reasonably" because they also smelled a bit ... musty?
The chips were dusted with a slight amount of yellow and brown powder, with little green flecks. As typical with kettle chips, they're also pretty greasy.
The flavor wasn't bad, with a smokey taste and mild amount of spiciness. They didn't have much cheese flavor, except for an odd aftertaste that was almost bad parmesan. On the whole these chips weren't bad, but they were kind of boring.
Rating: 3/5
