#351 Jolly Pumpkin - Oro de Calabaza

There is a hint of sour fruit aroma, a little lemony. This beer has a golden color with some haze and flakes of sediment on the bottom of the glass. The head pours thick and pillowy with good retention.

The taste is fruity with a well blended spice profile. The lemony fruit flavor is delicate with some honey sweetness. The spice is well rounded with Belgian characteristics and the fruit flavor. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with a ton of carbonation dancing across the tongue in each sip. The finish is light and fruity with a shadow of spice.

This is a wonderful beer, one of the amazing finds mixed in with so many other beers. I love the fruit and spice, the a mouthfeel alone makes the beer worth drinking.
