COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Jubelale is classified as a "Strong Ale" or an "English Olde Ale," and has ties to the traditional Celebration Ales of England. Characterized by a very large malt body and pronounced bitterness, Jubelale contains five different varieties of hops and a healthy amount of caramel. The perfect ale for surviving the long, cold nights of winter. Our tradition is having a different local artist design our Jubelale label & packaging each year.

’07 Bottle: Amber in color with little to no head. Sweet fruit, apple, light malt and floral hops on the nose. Refreshing malty apple flavor with a dry hop finish. Good stuff

I look forward to this beer all year long, and when the holidays come around I do my part to keep the brewer in business. That said, it seems like every year it’s less robust than I remember the year before. Maybe I’m projecting memories of holiday cheer into the beer, but it never seems to live up to what I remember. Nonetheless, it’s a wonderful quaff that fills my whole mouth with flavor.

trokini (1027) - San Diego, California, USA - NOV 21, 2007
Pours deep mahogany with brown hioghlights and a thin tan head. Nutty, roasted malt aroma, with a bit of spice (nutmeg? cinnamon?). Flat mouthfeel. A truckload of caramel malt lingers throughout, which the hops have the fight through. Some coffee and roasted malt. It really keeps true to a English Strong Ale without falling into the ESB category.

Deep and solid amber/ruby red. Candy or Fruity presence in aroma. At an alcohol % lower than 7% I am surprised and confused about how prevalent it is through out. Wish they would mask it just a little more.

12oz bottle. 2007 vintage. Poured a deep orange color with an averaged sized beige head. Aromas of caramel, toasted malts, and some dark fruits. Tastes of toasted caramels, lighter dark fruits, and nuts.6

Much better than other "winter warmers" I’ve had this year. Strong malt taste. Hops. When English "strong ales" are rich in flavor like American strong ales (but without the heavy taste), then we get something like this one. A very good beer.

alaskanwarren (286) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 11, 2007
Pours mahogany with a great looking tan head. Aroma is caramel, malt, hint of toastiness, plum and mild spiciness. Flavor is sweet, decent amount of fruits and malt, giving way to more hints of bitter and spice. It’s pretty well balanced for a winter ale. It’s not crazy, radical or shocking. It’s just a great winter ale. I’d definitely purchase this again.

bottle. i once knew a Jubel Cain. now i’ve known a jubelale. maroon brown body with a nice lasting head. sugary caramel nose with lots of plum and raisin, a bit bready. tin slightly tart sweet flavor, marshmallow, red grape. damn this washes down a burrito well. grahame cracker note that’s nice. something slightly burnt in the finish. flat cherry dirtiness finishes. a good old ale. 4 6 7 4 15
