Jolly Pumpkin opened in Michigan in 2004 and has quickly gained a reputation for brewing authentic Belgian style beers. It seems as though their website is currently having some troubles, but I believe they age all of their products for a time in oak before bottling or putting them on draft. This is their take on a biere de garde or strong golden ale, depending on who you ask.Nice golden color with a big, creamy white head. Lots of lacing as it is drunk, with good carbonation and mouthfeel.
Interesting smell, with a Brett aroma present as well as notes of citrus and other fruity aromas you would expect in a Belgian style beer.
Taste is good. The Brett is definitely there, along with citrus, tart apple, bitterness. Light oak, lingering finish. Very dry as expected for the style and yeasts used. Alcohol content is not present, nice, easy sipping beer. Quite delicious.
