Commercial Description:
Autumn Fire
Ale brewed with chestnut and spices
To catch a bit of soft radiance in each special bottle, we wait for fall colors to begin their bright and fleeting glow before brewing this wonderful ale under their autumn fire. Gentle amber malts lead smooth caramel notes, gently lapping against a shore of distant forgotten spice. A beer to contemplate and enjoy!

750ml courtesy of Styles. Good coriander spicey aroma hits the nose with some sour fruits. Hazy gold bodt with white foamy head. Flavor and sour fruits with some grain in the mix. Easy on the palate a good enjoyable beer. Thanks Chris.

750ml from State Line. The pour is a nice reddish brown, with a thick frothing head. Looks like a very lively oud bruin, a notion that returns once you get a whiff of the nice aroma, malts and funk in roughly equal measure (though favoring the latter, cuz it’s JP). The mouthfeel could be a bit more full, but it’s still okay. Flavor is deep and ruddy, earthy and with a dry feel that I reckon comes from the chestnuts (there’s that dusty, nutty quality to the finish). Would love to get a few more bottles of this to age. Another winner from JP.

750ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki) - shared by oh6gdx - thanks!
Deep orange, small head. Bizarre aroma - odd fruitiness and brett acidity, but with a noticeable malt component too. Palate crisp. Orange taste, some dry spices too, old cloves perhaps, and a touch of soap. Sourness doesn’t fit in perfectly. Certainly interesting and well-made beer (though the brett is clearly not spontaneous, and sticks out a mile), but not my style.

Bottled (Pikkulintu, 0,75 ltr). Hazy orange color, small off-white head. Very herbal, hayish, a bit perfumic nose. Sour, grapefruity, some tangerine peel, vanilla. Herbal-spicey cooking, weird beer. It’s like some Fantome saisons.

Bottled. Hazy amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is fruits, sourness, some spices and yeast. Flavour is sour fruits, some hops, mild notes of spices. Quite sour wooden notes.

750ml in all-purpose Duvel glass. Pale amber with flat head and lace. Mild spicy cinnamon funky fruity caramel aroma. Funky fruity sweet pineapple and spicy flavors with funky spicy woody clean finish. Medium-light body. Nice mouthfeel. Very refreshing. I just can’t stop sipping it. Nice.

Bottle. Aroma of plastic, caramel malt, toasted coconut, standard JP funk. Flavor a mix of caramel malt and that JP funk. A little more body and malt to balance the by now boring funk than in some other JP’s, but still not really getting me going.
