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. October - December - draft and bottles

Bottle. Pours a dark brownish-red with a thick, bubbly, off-white head. Sweet and sharp aroma, of malt, dark fruits, and hops. Taste is sharp, of malt, fruit, hops, and pine. Lingering sharpness. Tasty.

Bottle. Pours a dark red-brown with a large, clingy, pillowy, frothy, tan head that slowly fades. Taste is of malt, caramel, hops, fruit, citrus and some alcohol(is more apparent as it warms). Fairly sweet, with a dry finish. Has some bitterness to it. Well balanced and easy to drink. Similar aroma, but some alcohol comes through. A pretty good winter beer, especially when it is on sale (picked a 6 pack up for about $6).

A very good winter holiday brew with a touch of frutiness and an overall clean finish

2008 Bottle. Poured a deep brown color with ruby highlights and a thick beige head that slowly receded and left nice lacing. Aroma of caramel, some light roast, toffee, a bit of fruitiness (orange, apricot), and some light hoppiness. Smooth, lightly bitter entry leads into a moderately sweet maltiness with some caramel and toffee, as well as a moderate nuttiness that transitions into a soft fruitiness (orange and tangerine) paired with a moderate earthy hoppiness and some soft caramel undertones. Low carbonation and smooth on the palate. Nice beer.

Good, not great. Pours very dark red. Nuttier than I usually like, but still a pretty good winter ale.

Pours a cola color with an inch of tan head that subsides. Nice dark caramel malt flavors but they are masked by the high bitter hops level. Would have liked to get a more aromatic experience from the hops. Not bad but bitterness masks the maltiness usually associated with this style.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of beerbill. Thanks! Pours a brownish red color with a large tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Big banana aroma with lots of spice and some bread. Taste is caramel, spice (ginger, nutmeg), bitter hops and banana. Full bodied
