Jolly Pumpkin Luciernaga Grand Reserve

Brewed by Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales
Style: Belgian Ale
Dexter, Michigan USA

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy with strong notes of fruits - especially peaches and oranges - reminds me of a fruit punch, but also with light notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet alcoholic combined with notes of mango and peaches, as well as light woody notes, leading to a dry end. The alcohol leaves a slight burn in the mouth.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Distinct oak aroma. Medium body, lightly caramelish and spicy. Extremely dry with loads of vanilla and oak. Some medicinal notes. Unusual but interesting. Courtesy of madsberg. 120207

RBSG07. From 33 cL bottle. Pours orange. Aroma is fruity, grape and lemon and floral hops. Flavour is slight citric to sour. Finish is sour as well. Not overly but just enough.

Bottled. Hazy amber, brief head. Complex aroma of cheese and raspberries. Tart, yet buttery. Medium sweet with soft mouthfeel and some whiskey-ish oak barrel character. Notes of vinegar, berries and grass. Complicated, ultracomplex and superbly excellent. This beer is so fun!!

(12oz bottle, thanks for sharing jeffc666) Cloudy amber body with small off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, vanilla, yeasty, fruity, wood. Taste is medium sweet, wood, yeast, some vinous, light vanilla/bourbon, caramel. Light-medium body, smooth with faint acidity. A nuanced beer -- the bourbon barrel provides a gentle complement, unlike so many BA beers.
