Commercial Description:
Autumn Fire
Ale brewed with chestnut and spices
To catch a bit of soft radiance in each special bottle, we wait for fall colors to begin their bright and fleeting glow before brewing this wonderful ale under their autumn fire. Gentle amber malts lead smooth caramel notes, gently lapping against a shore of distant forgotten spice. A beer to contemplate and enjoy!

Tasting at Backus’ Backyard Bash. sour apple, very cloudy. mouth full of carbonation. tart with a drying finish. typicaly JP brett. lacks general definition but drinkable.

Bottle. Light funky and fruity nose. Cloudy orange with a big thick bubbly white head. Nice lacing. Nice sourness but not much in the finish. A bit thin. Not on par with the depth and complexity I’ve come to expect from JP.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of spices, fruit, lots of Brett yeast, apples, pears, nutmeg, and a slight tartness. Poured copper/amber in color with a small to medium-sized, dense, off-white head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Sparkling. Small particles throughout and some large particles as well. Very good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of Brett yeast, funk, wood, nuts, spices, light grape, nutmeg, cinnamon, chestnut, vanilla, malts, and slight vegetables. Medium body. Smooth, tingly, then chalky texture. Lively carbonation. Funky, acidic, yeasty dry finish.

Poured into my St. Bernardus glass a very nice cloudy golden yellow/brown color, nice carbonation, nice one-finger plus creamy off-white head, with some nice sticky lacing left behind. The nose is malty, yeasty, funky, with some oak notes, and spice. The taste is funky, with some malts/yeast, nice touch of oak/spice. Medium body. Very drinkable, this is a nice one, recommended.

Tasting at Backus’ Backyard Bash. Cloudy dark gold pour. Vinegar sour apple aroma. Slightly sour wood, light apple tart, and sweet malt taste. Interesting, but only ok.

Bottle courtesy of the Merrit Island tasting hosted by mcbackus. Poured a golden orange color. Smell was woody and tart. Flavor was sweet sweet malts with a hint of sour apple. I like the sweet and malty ones so this one was okay in my book!

Tasting at mcbackus. Hazy apricot color. Funky, woody aroma. Funk, sour, tart, woody flavor. Again I just cannot get into sours. This one was ok, just not my style.
