Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca

Brewed by Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Dexter, Michigan USA

Poured into a standard pint glass. Very pale straw colour- similar to your std macro lager, but with a three finger head. Smell- citrus, woody brett. Taste- loads of citrus fruit, grainy and medium spice. Finishes really clean with snappy tartnes. The oak and brett are there, but not in your face. Medium carbonation, combined with the light body makes a thirst quenching beer. The least complex JP beer I’ve tried to date, but a nice drinker.

Pours hazy yellow with a very white head and lots of sediment. Aroma is citrus and what I can only describe as vinegar. Goes down smooth with a sour citrus finish.

Big bottle pours hazy pale amber with a bright white head and decent lace. The aroma is wet leather, spicy, and yeasty. The flavor starts out wit like, but then morphs into a sour bracing finish that reminds me of something like lambic. Perhaps it is the orange peel and coriander, but I think this one is flat out brett. We have some serious wild yeast in this. I have one of the older bottles with the non-round lables. I’m wondering if this was really supposed to be this sour? Infection? No, I think this one is OK. I guess what really matters is if it tastes good. Not bad at all.

750 ml. bottle, this should be called calabaza amargo , this reminds me of a nice sour ale more than a wit, cloudy yellow color and nice fluffy head, some banana and sour lemon on the nose and then a big sour citrus ale , this is very nice

Superb White. Hazy highly carbonated pale yellow ale. Very citrus nose. Bubbles that stay alive with orange taste.

Bottle. Somewhat hazy orange-yellow pour with a fizzy...somewhat creamy white head. Aroma of mild citrus rind/zest, apple skin, light pepper, yeast, and a bit of spice. Flavors of apple, citrus zest, coriander, yeast, dry malt, pepper, and a hint of funk. Light body with a lively carbonation...tart/juicy with a malty/dry/tart finish. Nice! This might be a good session brew for when it warms up, especially now that it comes in sixers!

12 oz bottle. Clear glistening gold with a cap of white foam. Pretty. Nose is lemon and yeast fading to pear and green apple. Crisp and juicy with wheaty creaminess. Taste is pear nectar, lemon peel and coriander with pith. Simple but highly drinkable.

750mL bottle. thanks to Pwn3d. Pours a light, cloudy orange with little white head. The aroma is some tart and citrus. The taste is light overall - orange, citrus, coriander, tart, and wheat. I thought this little billy was pretty solid. One of my favorites.
