Jolly Pumpkin La Roja

Cloudy dark amber body (SRM of 22 according to my new BJCP Color Guide) with a medium rocky off-white head. Sour fruit aroma with light raisin, caramel, molassas, and oak hints. More sour flavor, light fruitiness, with the oak starting to shine through more, and a bit of caramel. Medium body with mdoerately high carbonation and nice sour finish.

courtesy of bullzeye. the beer tried to get out of the bottle at first. deep ruby pour with a nice beige head. real yeasty smell along with some apricots. easy on the palate with a nice sourness that is quite smooth and easy to drink.

Bottle says Biere de Garde. Carbonated emough that it tries to foam it’s way out of the bottle. Sort of a red caramel colour. Light foam head. Smells like a sour ale. A touch of a cheese edge to the scent. Lively body. Dark malt and very sour. Starts out a little thin, sour and half wine-like. BIgger lasting head in the bottle than in the glass! Tastes better and better as you drink, or as the alcohol sinks in.

Pours reddish brown with light tan head. Funky sour aroma. Slightly sour with earthy and musty flavors. Not as sour as I was expecting, but very good. Medium body with minimal carbonation and a short dry finish. My first beer from JP and I look foward to trying more.
