Sea Buckthorn Fandango Ale

Terrific lighter sour from Jolly Pumpkin (a collaboration with Mikkeller), this is really refreshing with hints of lemon. Really crisp finish (would be perfect for a warm summer day...which sound nothing like today in Michigan!). — 8 years ago

La Roja Artisan Amber Ale

Classic from Jolly Pumpkin, this is not as good as the Rozilla or La Roja du Kriek, but nevertheless is a terrific sour. — 8 years ago

Christmas Bomb! Imperial Stout 2015

Intense! Heavy and heated with notes of fresh ground coffee bean, pumpkin and gingerbread spice, vanilla, and an incredibly rich mouthfeel. Definitely a slow sipper. Prodominate flavor is coffee though. — 8 years ago

La Roja Du Kriek Sour Amber Ale

Rojzilla is better, even though I love the Krieks, this one has no blue cheese but it has a nice kick... — 9 years ago

Sustained cherry character. Excellent, but lacking the funky complexity of Rojzilla.

Baudelaire Beer iO Saison

Another terrific beer from Jolly Pumpkin. Definitely improves with some time in the glass; much better on tap at the brewpub in Ann Arbor. Doesn't have the depth of the La Roja (which is by far my favorite JP), but still a great beer. — 9 years ago

Bam Noire Dark Farmhouse Ale

Almost nutty. darker flavor, as name implies. The particular sour aftertaste makes this beer -- one of my favorites, actually -- maybe because it's so smooth, maybe because of the label, or perhaps because I had this originally on torch lake on the 4th of july. Would also make a superb fall beer. Thanks Charlie! — 8 years ago

Rojzilla Michigan Sour Biere

Much better than this year's one, which probably just needs aging. Lots of esters, glue, and deliciousness — 8 years ago

Rosie del Barrio Sour Ale

A new one from Jolly Pumpkin, this one is a slightly different take on La Roja (sort of midway between La Roja and Rozilla). Nice nose, but the palate was disappointingly thin. I think this was released pretty recently, so it may need some time in the bottle to flesh out a bit more. As of now this is a good but not great JP...but it has potential. — 8 years ago

Special Brown Ale

Jolly Pumpkin Maracaibo Especial. Nice drinkable sour ale of the JP tradition with some prominent dry cocoa flavor. Do not be fooled by the label of brown ale, which is generally the most disappointing beer style on the planet. Thanks to McCusker for hauling this and many other fine JP offerings all the way to California! — 9 years ago

Perseguidor Oak Aged Ale

Deep chestnut in color. Filled with roasted coffee and dried currant aromas. The currant carries over to the palate joined by tart notes of cranberry, citrus , leather, and funk. An excellent sour. — 9 years ago

Northward Belgian Style Bière

Collaboration with Anchorage Brewing. Refreshing, light, and easily quaffed on a fine afternoon. Luscious notes of grapefruit entwined with hops and pepper corn. Wish I lived next to Jolly Pumpkin. Let me rephrase: Wish they would move Jolly Pumpkin next to my house in California. — 9 years ago
