The Offering: Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales, Oro de calabaza, artisan golden ale - Batch 1028, 06/05/12

ABV: 8%

This is a sour aged ale similar to the Petrus and just as delicious. It's labeled as barrel aged and bottle conditioned and you can really taste it. There are definite notes of oak barrel. The main palate is dry lemon citrus with some unsweetened cider and spice. The oak comes later with some stringent bitterness. Once again, the sours make for great beers. They are unique to most and you can tell a great deal of care went into the production. I highly recommend this one and look forward to more Jolly Pumpkin offerings.

Points: 93
