Bottle: Poured a bright yellow with a thick white head. The aroma was orange and spicey lemons. The flavor was that of tart apples and lemons with the coriander showing up near the end. Overall, a wonderfully balanced beer, one that I’m currently searching for more of.

A pure light gold body with a HUGE white head. A lightly spicey aroma... almost maranara like. Taste is very carbonated, nice spices, some light lemon evident. Ending is lightly tart, quite tasty though.

Sour and lemony. Head vanishes quickly. It is very interesting and spicy. I like all the stuff floating around in it

Straw yellow that is somewhat thick, with bright white head. Nose of lemon and spice. flavor is very citric that sours out to a full on lemon finish. A lot of carbination in this one.

Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca is a very original take on a Belgiam White. The color is a very nice unfined light amber with a quickly disappearing head. The aroma is a little more sour and tart than the traditional Witbier. The addition of ginger to this beer covers the natural corriander spice found in this type of beer. While I was a little intimidated by the different taste at first, I quickly started to like this beer a lot.

12 oz. bottle courtesy Naka. Pours a hazy straw yellow with golden hues. Thin white head, foamy and rimming. Nose is funky lemon with notes of spice. Bready start leading into a mild Brett funk with some spice that fades into a strong citric finish that leaves a bit of a sour/tart after. Mouthfeel is nice, with the carbonation only adding to a rather full, viscous experience. Another great offering from what’s becoming to be one of my favorite breweries. Starting to love the funk.

Pours a hazy golden straw color. A small white head that dissipated quickly. Has the funky barnyard citrus sauerkraut nose. A dry sour flavor that has some grain underneath. Definitely some lemon citrus flavors and coriander. There is a slight sweetness, but it is very faint. Pretty par for the course from J.P. The spicy farmhouse style that they do very well. Lots of carbonation that gives it a pretty decent body. Not as good as a lot of other J.P. brews that I’ve had, but very drinkable.
