Ball's Dilly Beans-how spicy are they?

I was planning to can a bunch of dilly beans and I can't remember which recipe I used last time. I thought it was the BBB recipe but I notice that one has cayenne and mine weren't spicy at all, just dill pickle-like. I recently tasted some dilly beans at a food swap and one person's were too spicy for my liking and another cook's beans were perfect but I didn't get a chance to ask about the recipes used.

For those who have made the BBB dilly beans are they spicy? Do you taste the cayenne or does it just enhance the brine? Not sure if I'm used to the recipe with the pepper omitted or if the "spicy" beans had extra cayenne above what is called for in BBB.

Thoughts appreciated.
