Special Ale
Ale aged in oak barrels
Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales
Dexter, Michigan, USA
$12.99 a bottle
1pt 9.4oz bottle
Appearance: dark brown body with a tan head
Aroma: not much of anything; hint of sour mash, tart cherry
and cranberry but very, very light; I am not picking up any oak
Flavors: sour mash, tart fruit like cherry and cranberry,
toasted oak comes thru in the taste, the spice is on the finish and aftertaste
to me, I am having a hard time thinking of what the spice reminds me of … maybe
a dark smoked salt
Mouthfeel: tart and slightly bitter on the aftertaste; fine
fizzy carbonation, the sour and tart notes dominate, the spice is on the finish
and aftertaste to me
To the Point: an interesting ale; I can’t figure out if I
like it or dislike it; I’ll let the price decide – 13 big ones … I don’t think
I would buy it again. I dislike … couldn’t
finish the glass I poured it out … the flavors are too strange
