Jolly Pumpkin Fuego del Otono (Autumn Fire)

Bottled. An unclear dark orange beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of citrus and coriander. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of citrus, but also with notes of peaches, leading to a dry and slightly bitter end.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Pours a hazy, amber golden with huge amouts of sediment and a lively, of-white head that leaves some lacing. Lightly tart Brett-aroma. Fairly light in body with lightly fruity notes and a whiff of...cinnamon?? There’s some Bretty accents present without making the beer sour as such. Dry, slightly leathery finish. Interesting - as most Jolly Pumpkins. 301107

Bottled. Cloudy dark orange. Lightly acidic fruit aroma with medicinal notes. Dry and fruity with lively mouthfeel. Notes of melon and a light, lambic-like lactic acidity. Feels fresh and has a lot of complex flavours, but the medicinal notes are on the strong side.

From bottle, no 17 at Papsoes blindtasting. Pours hazy orange with a collapsing head. Brett aroma, citric to acidic. Flavour is subdued sweet and with a classic brett flavour of acidic to citric notes. Quite nice. Finish holds a nice caramel sweetness beneath and smooth and controlled brett flavour. Mellow and nice. Far finish holds a mild woody tone.

Bottled. Hazy amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is fruits, sourness, some spices and yeast. Flavour is sour fruits, some hops, mild notes of spices. Quite sour wooden notes.

Bottle. Hazy orange coloured with a huge off white ehad. Aroma of fruits, wood, vanilla and hops. Fruity flavour of hops, vanilla and wood. Woody and hoppy finish.

slightly hazy amber, huge lasting tight creamy head, bits of drippy lace, slightly tart woody aroma with a nice moldy funk, creamy body, nice carmel malt flavor, good dry oaky character blended with a spicy edge, fleeting touch of sweetness balanced by some nice tartness, an evening’s entertainment in a glass

Hazy amber colour. Fairly funky, oaky aroma. Spicy flavour, aggressively yeasty with light backing maltiness and a tart finish. Interesting but I’m not big on the aggressive yeastiness.
