Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales
La Roja Grand Reserve Artisan Amber Ale
Michigan, USA
Wow. Basically La Roja on steroids, this has all of the great characteristics of La Roja but amped up, while at the same time better integrated. The sourness is beautifully balanced by some vanilla (presumably from the oak barrels, but who knows), as well as lingering hints of caramel that help to sustain a long finish. Definitely a notch above the regular bottling, this one is a treat!

Excellent dose of toluene on the nose and intense balsamic vinegar and bleu cheese character on the palate. Thanks again to Jim for bringing this gem from Michigan.
