Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca

Hazy orange with a medium-sized head. Good lacings. The smell is of wheat, oranges, spices, hints of tobacco and brett. Good, rather mellow. Good balance. The taste is somewhat sweet with dry wheaty flavors and dry orange notes. Spices (mostly coriander) and mild bretty notes. Very tasty juicy fruit flavors, mostly tart citric notes. Hints of yeast. The finish is dry with note of wheat, fruits and minerals. Moderate body, rather dry texture. Nicely refreshing carbonation. A good beer. Very easy to drink. I’m not usually a big fan of witbiers, but this one was rather pleasant. Serving type: bottle (Copy of old Beer Advocate review)

Superb White. Hazy highly carbonated pale yellow ale. Very citrus nose. Bubbles that stay alive with orange taste

Short fluffy white head over a clowdy yellow beer. Spicy aroma with a litle orange and white pepper. Tart taste and dry finnish.

(bottle) From the aroma, I knew this was not a traditional witbier. The aroma was waaaaaayyyy too sour to be considered a wit. Sure enough, the flavor followed suit. I admit I do not like sour beers and this was just too much. Not enough yeast or spice. The sourness just overpowers everything. This is my first Jolly Pumpkin and I’m highly disappointed.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a large creamy white head. Wheat, funk, yeast, and a tad papery. Crisp brett flavor, dry, lemony. Finishes with a bit of the musky coriander I was hoping for on the nose, and a bit of crisp light acid. Really tasty stuff.

Sour on the palate, with golden malts and funky citrus. Lots of sour fruit here lingers.

Pours cloduy yellow/gold with a sudsy white head. Aroma is Belgian yeast, wheat, and tart lemon. Taste is slightly sour with vinegar and sweet candy.

Batch 298 Bottle. Clear liively straw pour whit a frothy white head. Aroma is fresh, crisp, yeast and spice, Flavour is suprisingly funky and sour. Lemony and some subtle spice, coriander comes across. Dry finish with a sour linger.
