Jolly Pumpkin La Roja

Appearance- Nice amber color, very cloudy, thick head. Smell- very strong fruit smell, especially cherries, maybe a hint of cranberries since it was a bit tart. Taste- Very strong dark cherry . the alcohol taste was strong but not overpowering Mouthfeel- A bit of a medium body with a little bit of carbonation. Drinkability- I really enjoyed this beer. It was a bit tart which made it interesting. I will recommend this beer to friends

Im not very big on this style of beer, but it grew on me. Poured ruby/copper with fading head and fruity sour notes on both aroma and taste. Light citrus, flowery, fruit notes bite acerbicly into the palate and provide a surprisingly refreshing sour/finish to an intersting brew. While its not my favorite style, I have to give it respect and props for excelling within the style.

Pours hazy amber with a nice head. bottled gushed right of the bat. great aroma of spice and sour with a hint of sweet malt. moderately light on the palate. refreshing with a tart finish. does not overly dry out but rather stayed fairly smooth and clean feeling. great beer.

Wow, foam gushing right out of the bottle! Finally get it poured leaving a deep, muddy amber color with a moderate amount of clarity; head is extremely full, fizzy, rocky, and off-white settling somewhat quickly to a nice, lasting, pillowy bit leaving tight, sporatic lacing. Nose is wonderful; earthy notes of wet bark, spice notes of thyme, moderate sour notes of sour apple and overripe cherries, caramel, cinnamon, and faint oak barrel notes of vanilla. Flavor is nice but took some time to get a feel for; caramel base, moderate sour notes of overripe cherries and crab apples, and oaken notes of vanilla and light wet oak. Palate is fair being medium, lively, and refreshing with it drying out almost completely by the end. As the flavor progresses, a moderately light bitterness and a wet woodiness take over with the sour notes diminishing and leaving vanilla and cinnamon in the finish. JP creates yet another memorable beer; perfect balance between malty notes, sour notes, and typical Flemish notes. Lacks the overpowering sour and acetic notes of most Flemish reds, but the balance and complexities made this one incredibly likable and inviting beer. JP has a way of creating beers that don’t really fit into any specific style but will surely insight any Belgian beer lover.

pours a muddled iced tea color with a super carbonated head. slight caramel aroma with hints of wood, sour apple/ver jus and vanilla. flavor is malty with light sour apple and spice notes. highly carbonated and refreshing with a dry finish

Pours out a nectarine amber. Lots and lots of head- in fact was a bit of a gusher. I had to jam a wine stopper in the top of the bottle to keep it under control. Smell is sour and funky. Taste follows suit. Quite interested. Dry woody finish and high carbonation. The carbonation matched the style. After a couple of glasses into this bomber I really noticed that it was a dry white wine finish- very unique and an enjoyable brew.

Poured a deep reddish color with nice white head and good lacing. It smelled of sour fruits, some caramel sweetness, and some spices as well. It started off with a good dose of sour fruits like apples, lemons, and oranges. It followed with a sweet and spicy flavor from the caramel and earthy spices. Had a lot going on in this beer. It was full flavored and full bodied that finished dry with some sour notes. Really enjoyed this one. Another great brew from JP.

Amber red color with a decent off white head. Flavors like it has been aged in oak. Some vanilla and full body. Pungent yeast like aromas with some citrus, spice, and mold? Medium bodied with slight alcohol on the finish.
