A re-release of a favorite collaboration between Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales and Maui Brewing Company. Spanning the distance between Dexter and Maui (4391 miles to be exact) Sobrehumano Palena`ole connects the two noble states with the use of two noble ingredients, cherries and liliko’i. A bright, candied nose of passion fruit melds with the tartness of the cherries and brushes of oak. Foeder aged for nearly ten months in two separate vessels and blended to elicit the perfect sense of aloha.

Above human, without limits.
I can’t remember when I first met Garrett exactly, but I’m sure it began just like any other day for me. Demonic flying monkeys and bats. Brain on fire, most likely, but definitely bats.
Over the years I’ve become inspired by his cavalier magnanimousness, and seemingly nonplussed view on life.
Leading by following, I’ve re-brewed this collaborative effort between our two breweries. A recipe his then head brewer John, and I first concocted years ago. None of us completely understanding its significance, or where it would lead. But here we both are. Again.
What better describes life?
Mahalo!

Original Label:
Yes, Michigan and Hawaii are connected. It should be obvious to you now, as you hold this beer, and read this label. John and I designed this beer with two noble fruits from two noble states, Michigan & Hawaii. Cherries and Liliko’i. Starting to see the connection? I feel it. So does John. 4391 miles may separate our breweries, but not our thirst for the exquisite. Hipa! -Ron
Working with Ron is something I’ve always want to do since I had my first Jolly Pumpkin beer. Years later, it’s a reality. Being involved on this project was an honor and a privilege. Mahalo to my MBC crew and to you, fans of craft beer! -John

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 12/21/2016. Pours slightly hazy light reddish orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tart cherry, passion fruit, mango, strawberry, melon, pear, lemon, green apple, grapefruit, red grape, oak, pepper, hay, straw, and grass; with light leathery funk, red wine vinegar, wheat, bread, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, fruit juice, oak barrel, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart cherry, passion fruit, mango, strawberry, melon, pear, lemon, green apple, grapefruit, red grape, oak, pepper, hay, straw, and grass; with light leathery funk, red wine vinegar, wheat, bread, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness and yeast/tannic oak spiciness; with lingering notes of tart cherry, passion fruit, mango, strawberry, melon, pear, lemon, green apple, grapefruit, red grape, oak, pepper, hay, straw, grass, light leather/vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, fruit juice, oak barrel, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance. Slightly puckering, but never astringent on tartness. Light-moderate dryness from tart/spiciness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp/acidic/tannic, and lightly grainy/bready balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is an awesome fruited wild ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, fruit juice, oak barrel, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the modest acidity/tannins. A really enjoyable offering.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe in Seattle-USA. Copper clear pour a bit dark, little ivory lacing. Nose: molasses, caramel, a little funky note, strong wood. Mouth: a bit mild, watery, just a reminiscence of the nose. Bummer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
