Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca

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

Cold 750ml bottle: Pours a hazy straw color with a moderate head that dissolves into a thin layer of alabaster bubbles and a thick ring of bubbles around the edges. Aroma is of coriander, orange zest, sharp yeast and lemon. Taste is of light grains and spice with citrus zing and tart notes. Light bodied, playful carbonation and crisp. Ending is grainy and dry with tart notes.

12 oz bottle, poured very hazy yellow with a puffy head. Dry aroma with yeast, lemon, and "funk." Taste was kind of sour, oaky, and had a bit of wine or something. Very nice and dry, I loved it in the summertime.

Bottle. Lots of coriander with orange peel, lemon, and yeast. Sickly hazy yellow with a very short white head. Tart taste with a little chalk and lemon, light yeast with a smooth, pleasant maltiness. Medium body. Sourish, spicy tang leads the way out. Bit of a dry champagne aftertaste. Decent if somewhat bland for a wit, but I’m already reaching for something else (and I love sourness).

12 oz bottle from Pantanap, Thanks Kan! Nose of tartness, yeast, apples, and spices; Hazy yellow with a medium yellowish head; flavor of mild lemony tartness, bready yeast, and the coriander. Body is medium-light with a slightly tart finish. Pretty good!

12oz bottle - Toronado Pours: Straw yellow slightly hazy with a huge billowy white head which lasts for a long time Palate: Relatively light bodies with the tartness and the medium high carbonation.. a great fit for a summer afternoon Nose: Floral, base malts, some musty and lemony notes.. Flavor: opening notes of base (wheat like) malt notes with some spicy hop bite with some fruitiness before the the blast of lemony (some pith) cleansing tartness along with some woody notes washes over... Overall: WOW! what a great beer.. for something under 5% is fantastic... almost like "Temptation or Saison Dupont LITE" so much going on.... a great summer beer... but hey a cloudy day in SF is not a bad choice either.. I would chalk this under another one of the masterful beers from Jolly Pumpkin.. Cheer Ron!

750 ml bottle. It pours a straw yellow with creamy white head with good lacing. The tartness of lemon in the nose that come though in the flavor with the added complexity of a slight woodsy and spicy character in the finish. Well made beer.

clear like water, almost not even yellow at all, very carbonated, big white head which eventually turns into nothing, citrus tea flavor, grapes, champagne like, delicate, slightly bitter on the finish, very well done

12oz bottle....poured a hazy golden hue with nice white head, and bubbly carbonation lasted several minutes….Aroma was of a wheat beer, citrus-like and reminded me of warmer months….taste was lemony-tart, refreshing, dry but without much of lasting sensation. It ended very abruptly in my eyes ….mouthfeel was okay, high level of carbonation but added to its refreshing nature. not too bad of a beer but i’ve had better before.
