750mL bottle, Batch 610 bottled 8-13-10. Label says 5.9%, not 6.0% ABV. Jolly Pumpkin is a frustrating brewery to me - more of that later. The pour produces a burnt orange hue with a small head that produces some nice, white lace. Looks good. The...
Jolly Pumpkin and Ron Jeffries remain a huge enigma to me; I just DON'T want funk in styles that shouldn't have funk! It makes no sense and it's an abuse of styles. Of course, this is a beer where it will be somewhat/definitely appropriate, so I...
750 mL bottle from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. Batch 278. I'm always in two minds about JP; I generally like the beers that they brew AS LONG AS the style fits the funk. When I get a "stout" for example that has funk, then I'm annoyed. For...
750 mL bottle from Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. $11.99. Batch 229. I've given JP plenty of grief in the past for putting funk into ALL of their beers when to me it is only appropriate with SOME styles, and NOT appropriate all over...
Thanks go out to nlmartin as part of Secret Santa '07. Delighted to get this, as I would probably not be buying this myself. 12oz bottle. OK, I've been critical of Jolly Pumpkin in the past because of the constant Brett profile of ALL of their...
Additional notes 01/19/26 Pictured. I believe this is a 2024 can, so in the region of 12 months old. I *think* that this is the same beer as Noel De Calabaza becasue of the ABV and the appearance, so for now I'm putting these together. I'm a little...
I'm not in love with JP beers by any stretch of the imagination, mainly because when they classify a beer within a style I only crack it open to find a beer that is full of funk and therefore OUT of style. Of course with this being labeled a...
750 mL bottle, Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. $7.99. Well, I just don't get it. This is simply another typical JP, over-funked beer. Don't get me wrong, I like funky beers but PLEASE don't label them as something they are clearly NOT. I don't...
$2.49, Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. 12oz bottle. Annoying huge head that eventually falls back to something managable and sensible. Some lacing. Great color - a hazed, clouded bright yellow, like a top quality Hefe or better. Nice looking...
$9.99 Green's Buford Highway, Atlanta, GA, USA. 750 mL bottle. Mid-orange body with thick, milkshake like head poured into the Duvel tulip. Some nice lacing. Looks very nice. Belgian spiced overtones and a hint of acidity and farmyard funk (apples...
Well, interesting to say the least, but in the end it was disappointing. A difficult beer to review on lots on levels, but I'll have a go! Nice bottle presentation in the 750mL size, $7.99 in lots of Atlanta outlets. This has been in GA for a few...
