Jolly Pumpkin Perseguidor (Batch 4)

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

On tap at MIBGWF 09. Pours dark brown, nearly black with a think soapy tan head. Aroma is tart cherries, chocolate, funk, earth. Flavor is chocolate, tart cherries, oak, light citrus. Palate is medium plus bodied, mild carbonation, finished tart and acidic. Nice stuff, I get this chocolate coved covered sour cherries thing going on.

Very dense dark brown colored body, some garnet at the sides of the glass when swirled. Bandaid and sour oak nose, soil-heavy notes of tree bark and mold. Dense and chewy texture, incredibly thick and full on the tongue. Bit of slow leather, molasses and tar that coat the tongue in a tingly and prickly layer of scotch pine, jasper, dense, blackened raspberries and sweet citrus hops. Damn.

Had many samples of this at the Michigan Winter Beerfest. Thank you for bringing this! Poured black with very little head. Aroma was sour with some wood. Taste was nice and sour, mature and acidic, more wood with some citrus and earthy elements. I really enjoyed this. Think I will see what some time does to the bottles I have.

Had twice at the Winter Michigan Beer Festival. Thank you thank you thank you to JP for bringing that great keg. I think i had some of the last of it towards the end of the day. (Sorry) Really dark in color with some funk stained wood all throughout the taste. A little worried that there might be to much oak aging, but it comes together really nice and complements the sourness of it all. Detectable alcohol is nowhere near 8%. Very nice.

Bottle shared at local BA tasting. Poured a clear dark brown color with a minimal frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with virtually no lacing. Moderate to heavy tart citrus, good funk and wood aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy sour flavor with a medium to heavy sweet&sour finish of moderate to long duration. This is a standout beer for style.

Shared by Rciesla. Thanks Broski. Looks like a schwartzbeer. Smells a little like a porter maybe? Tough to put my finger on the aroma. Very heavy on the lactic and acetic acids. Comes together pretty well.

Shared by FlandersNed, Thanks a bunch Steve. Pour is mahogany and has a smallish, tan head. Aroma is tart, wood, chocolate, fruit and earth. Flavor is awesome tartness with wood, ripe fruit and caramel sweetness. Full and rich, very easy to drink. Dryish finish.

Bottle: The aroma is definitely sour with some oak, roast, chocolate, and alcohol. It pours a dark brown with a small beige head that quickly fades to a ring. The flavor starts moderately sour/tart and finishes with some faint roastiness and oak. It’s medium bodies with minimal carbonation.
