About Me

This page is dedicated to my love of beer. I don’t mean just any beer either, but quality craft beer. My love of craft beer started many many moons ago. I discovered that there was beer out there that wasn’t your typical, always a commercial for during a sports game, or sponsor of something on that Sports channel the Centers around showing highlights. After my introduction to craft beer I started to want to learn more about it (I am still learning) and try as many different types of beer as possible.

So I will tell you what beer I am drinking, what the flavors are, and more if you are interested.

Jolly Pumpkin - La Parcela




Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales

 La Parcela No. 1 pumpkin ale - Ale brewed with pumpkin, cacao, and spice

 The color of this beer is an awesome opaque light brown in the center that fades to orange as it comes closer to the glass.  It's the most unique color I have seen this season.

 The aroma of this brew is awesome.  There is a mild sense of citrus, seasonal spice and a mild sweetness.  This is an aroma that I wouldn't expect.  The spices are mild, barely noticeable, but balanced and make this aroma enticing.

 On the palate this beer is nothing that I would expect.  The flavors all blend together, paired with barely there carbonation make this beer easy to drink.  On the backend, this beer has a little bit of a sourness and slight bitterness.  To understand this beer you need to try it.

 Overall I think this beer is pretty good.  There isn't much of a pumpkin flavor, but the beer has a good mixture of flavor and has a nice finish on the backend.  I like the amount of carbonation and the way the beer glides on the tongue.  Sometimes I think artisanal ales try to hard, but this one does not.
