Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca

GTMW! Hazy gold pour with a small white head. Lemon and pepper aroma. Flavor is similar with orange peal, oak. Slightly sour finish.

This was one of those "just because it cost more, doesn’t make it incredible" buys. Pours a bright hazey golden orange colour with a full white, whip cream like head. Noticeable amount of sediment, aroma is fruity- orange peel like, corander seeds and fresh cut flowers. Mouthfeel is light, and somewhat silky. Taste is soft and wheaty, with a touch of spice, lemon zest and honey dew melon. The unfortunate thing is, it sort of resembled a sorgum wheat beer- and so that is what turned me off. However, since it is unpasteurized, it wouldn’t suprise me if this beer somehow got mixed up in the heat and cold of deliveries a few times too many.

Bottle (thanks Beerlando). Cloudy pale yellow, extremely carbonated with a big white head that laces nicely. Peachy-funk nose, some peppery notes. Starts out with a restrained brettanomyces profile that becomes more pronounced as it warms, but never overpowering. Light fruit esters and spices, some floral character. Refreshingly tart and musky without much depth. Soft mouthfeel that still engulfs the palate.

Bottle. High fluffy but long lasting white head. Hazy light yellow body. Lemon oranges aroma with herbal and hay notes. Lwmon, grapefruit, corander flavor, relatively acidic and far from being sweet. Hgh carbonation and a long bitter aftertaste. Pleasant surprise.

Bottle (Batch 285) - shared with Mette & Mikkel. Cloudy yellow - white head. Citrus, hoppy, light sour, yeasty, acid, fruity, spidersweb, dusty, sharpness, light wood. Ok.
