Oro de Calabaza Artisan Golden Ale

Banana white crown with medium foam breaks down staccato. Amphibious glyphs. Smells like the inside of a butternut that has been rinsed with balsamic and mirin, then filled with diced carrot and pickled banana peppers. Oak dusted citrus entrance; tangerine and lemon with their nectarine chaperone. Hay and banana pepper with mined salt and white pepper. Dusty cedar and cypress, oregano and nutmeg. Amazing, gutty beer with nuanced elegance. Full of sass, and bawdy, but a gem of a catch!

Jul 8th, 2019Solid American style sour. Little too much hop and not as round of a mouthfeel as I would expect.

Really good incarnation of Ora de Calabaza. Not overly tart with terrific berry and lime flavors. Clean finish. Another score for JP!

Part of a bunch of older JPs that Vanessa found, this is awesome. SO much better than when this is first released, this has a subtle complexity to it that makes it seem more like a fine white wine than beer. Fantastic.
