Belgian style Lambic brewed traditionally (100% spontaneous fermentation). (Blend of 4 yr, 3.5 yr and 2.5 yr)
Malts: Pils Malt, Raw Wheat
Hops: Aged Hallertauer
One of Jolly Pumpkins founding goals was not only to be the first all oak aged sour brewery in the US, but the first production Lambic brewery as well. We began creating this beer over four years ago. Brewed using a traditional turbid step mash, an extended boil, and allowed to cool overnight in one of our open fermenters. Moved the next day into some of our most sour barrels. No culture yeast is used, only our native Dexter cultures.
Notes of orange, grapefruit, and a wonderful funky sourness complete the picture. Bottled Still.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with no head and a hazed amber orange body Aroma of vanilla, earthy notes, funk, varnish, berries, tannins and pear. Straight grapefruit juice on both the aroma and flavor as it warmed to room temperature. Taste is tart, acidic, earth, very sharp, lingering floral notes. Mouthwatering. Flat and acidic, quite tannic.
