Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales - Lúpulo de Hielo

Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales - Lúpulo de Hielo

  • Style: Oaked-Aged Spiced Sour Ale Blend
  • Alcohol by Volume: 6.0% (approximate)
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Goblet or Tulip
  • Country: United States
Lúpulo de Hielo pours a hazy brassy amber color, topped with a luscious off white head. The aroma instantly pops with the snap of wild fermentation. Some say you can’t “smell” tartness, but we disagree—you can tell there’s going to be some acidity to this hoppy sour ale, just like you know by its scent that a lime is sour. In fact, there is a pretty clear note of lime emerging from this brew, which is a blend of a hoppy sour ale that was aged in ...

  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Oversized Wine Glass
  • Country: United States
The Twelve Days of Christmas series continues! So far, each year’s beer has been a strong, dark ale. In the initial years of the series, the brewers worked some ingredient(s) into the recipe that suited the verse—last year, it had French hen feathers in it. Just kidding… it featured French oak, so, there’s your verse lingo tie-in. But we were advised by the brewery last year not to expect future releases to integrate ingredients that have anythin...

  • Alcohol by Volume: 5.50%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Seidel/Mug, Pint Glass
  • Country: Czech Republic
Prior to the age of refrigeration it was almost impossible to brew beer during European summers due to hot weather and increased likelihood of bacterial infection, so brewing generally ended by mid-spring and resumed when fall set in. Most spring beers were brewed in the month of March (or "März" in German) and were kept in cool storage over the spring and summer months. These märzenbiers became the traditional style enjoyed during Oktoberfest,...

  • Alcohol by Volume: 7.50%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Seidel/Mug
  • Country: Czech Republic
“What’s a maibock?” you might ask. Also commonly known as a Helles Bock, it’s a variant of bock that’s lighter in color and generally a bit more assertive in the hop department. On the pour, Primator Maibock presents a rich golden color with a sizeable off-white head that leaves some foam clinging to the glass as you drain it. We found the malty aromas to be pretty big on this one while the hop aromas took a bit of a back seat; expect a promin...

  • Alcohol by Volume: 5.40%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 28
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Cascade, Centennial
  • Malts: 2-Row, Light Munich
  • Country: United States
This golden-colored American-style Pale Ale presents the distinct aroma of American hops. Look for citric and floral notes underscored by a mildly sweet malt backbone of pale malts and light caramel. On the palate we found High Country Ale to be a very pleasing and solid entry into the crowded American Pale Ale category. The flavor profile of the Cascade and Centennial hops closely follows their aroma, offering the prominent citric and floral ...

Ahh, yes, it’s that time of year again. In the beer world, the end of summer and beginning of fall is accompanied by the release of many Oktoberfest-style (aka “märzen”) seasonal beers, and we’ve got a good one lined up for you this month. Boone’s version pours a deep copper/ amber color, as one expects from the style. We really like the nose on this beer – the variety of specialty malts create a solidly malty aroma with notes of toasty bread ...

Fire Island Beer Company - Lighthouse Ale

  • Alcohol by Volume: 5.10%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 15
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Nugget, U.S. Vanguard, U.S. Fuggle
  • Malts: 2-Row, Caramunich, Kiln Amber
  • Country: United States
Similar in color to Red Wagon, Lighthouse Ale pours a hazy golden-amber with an off white head. Look for aromas of lightly toasted caramel maltiness overlaid by sweet, slightly herbal hops. Some fruity esters akin to apple peak through the rest of the mix. On the palate, expect a toasty and bready character with a light but distinct graininess, while the herbal, somewhat tea-like hops provide truly excellent balance. Mild fruity esters appear...

  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Warrior, Cascade, Crystal
  • Malts: 2-Row, Munich, Caramel
  • Country: United States
Fire Island’s rendition of an IPA pours a coppery light-amber color with a fairly sizable cream-colored head. On the nose, we found the hop presence to be quite big, while there’s an underlying malt sweetness that merges with a somewhat juicy character. This is not a West Coast style citrus/pine resin explosion; rather, the hop profile, while somewhat citric, came across a little more floral and a bit grassy, with a woody, earthy hint. On the ...
