Fantastic new sour from Jolly Pumpkin (new for me, anyway). This is a collaboration between JP and Baston Brewery, it’s a blend of JP’s La Roja and Baston’s Nectar Des Dieux Triple. Super complex with layers of molasses, brown sugar, chocolate, but also the acidity of La Roja. One of the most interesting JPs I’ve had in a while. — 2 years ago

Significantly better than the Grisette, this is a collaboration with Speciation, another (relatively) new brewery in Michigan. Terrific sour that reminds me of something I had at Crooked Stave, this is impressive. — 5 years ago

Very good imperial stout. Excellent flavors and some dried cherry with bitter chocolate at the end cleanse the palate. Not on the same level as Jackie O’s or perennial or prairie. — 2 years ago

One of the best. Love the chili pepper flavor with dark and milk chocolates. Cinnamon and vanilla are secondary. The spice is what sets this apart from other beers in this style. Needs no pairing. — 3 years ago

A touch cloudy lemon yellow in appearance with a medium white head. A bit stinky with a touch of citrus rind and hay. Smooth and crisp mouthfeel with some funkiness and stone fruits. Medium length finish. Perfect Saison for people new to the style. — 5 years ago

This pint can of Perennial Artisan Saison de Lis is amazing and just what I’ve wanted!!!

This is a Belgian style ale brewed with Chamomile flower and it’s amazing, picture the frothiness of the chamomile tea, and it’s robustness and gentle bitterness in a beer form... it’s very very very good! — 6 years ago

Terrific new sour saison from JP (okay, maybe not that new - bottled in November 2019 - but new for me!), this is a collaboration with Perennial Ales. Brewed with peaches and apricots, it’s one of the better sour saisons I’ve had from JP. Highly recommended. — 3 years ago

Love this beer! So rich and complex. Coffee milk (ask your New England friends) baker’s chocolate and blistered shishito pepper skins. YUM. — 4 years ago

Fantastic new beer from Jolly Pumpkin. Great aromas of blackberries and raspberries, just enough tartness to keep it alive, this is one of the better JPs I’ve had in a while (doesn’t come close to the La Roja Grand Reserve we had at Zwanze Day yesterday, though). Great beer, though! — 6 years ago
