Continuing the sour beer explorations. This one is really nicely balanced. Full bodied and sour notes play well together.

Awesome as always (and much more interesting after a few years in the bottle - this was bottled in September of 2016. I will say that it did NOT go well with the Kobe hamburgers I made for dinner last night (which were great, by the way), but the beer is terrific!

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

Classic Jolly Pumpkin. Great funkiness on the nose, terrific sourness on the palate. Reconfirms my opinion that the Rojzilla is the best JP ever...but this is terrific.
