Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca

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

Bottle like image shown. Light hazy off-gold. Nose is light lemon and banana. Mouth is well carbonated, very spritzer - reminds me of a Unibroue in that regard. Flavor is lemon, orange peel, with sparingly small amounts of coriander. Very tart which lingers, perhaps a bit too tart for my liking. This has some lambic characteristics. Incredibly balanced, all the characteristics of this beer work together to put a smile on your face. I would suggest splitting this with your best mate.. might be too sour to kill the bottle on your own.

Light bright aroma with light pickle juice qualities. Golden yellow with a thin white head. Slightly malty saltiness and pickled flavors. Some spiciness, some citrus. Fairly dry on the finish. Tart.

Clear yellow pour with a small white head. Aroma of lemon, sour apple, spice, orange zest, and slightly peppery. Peppery flavor with lots of zesty citrus on the finish. Dry sour apple note lingering after the swallow. Thin body with lots of carbonation.

750 ml bottle thanks to a considerate friend with great luck at picking beers. Pours a clear honey/gold color with a large frothy whtie head. Nice funky aroma with notes of wood, of course, slight citrus and maybe a hint of grass. Light bodied with light carbonation that is very refreshing. Funky flavor with notes of old wood, lemons, yeast and spice. Funny I once dated a girl that was nicknamed the Jolly Pumpkin, not quite sure why but she did have a very round head and smiled a lot....hmm??

Med-pale, slightly hazy yellow, w/ a decent off-white head. Aroma: Orange, vinegar, light nail polish. Taste: fairly acidic lemon, little bit of sweat. Mouthfeel is just right, but strength of taste could be greater.

Clear, clean yellow/gold with some green toward the edges. Tart aroma reminds me of lambics, expecting dry flavors. Very light and crisp, not too dry at all. Quite a lot of sediment on the bottom.......chunky bits fall slowly to the bottom of the glass once lifted out of the bottle and add some haze. Beer gets a bit sweeter too, but not by much. Lemon citrus and vinegar remains, all flavors are delicate and short lasting.

Aroma is spiced.. i think i may smell pickles? (weird i know) Golden, unfiltered color, light head. A lot of sediment. Flavor of sweet fruits. Interesting flavors.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a medium sized white head. Aroma of funk, sour apple, lemon and yeast. Taste of spicy sour apple and lemon with a funk flavored finish. Interesting.
