Oro de Calabaza
Spicy and peppery, with a tart edge and a gentle hop bouquet: Oro de Calabaza follows the Franco-Belgian strong golden ale tradition, and wild yeast leaves its mark on the character. It comes in at 8 % ABV from Jolly Pumpkin of Dexter, Michigan, a brewery of barrel-aged sour bières since 2004, and like most of its beers it keeps mellowing when cellared.

Warmer than most — 12–14°C. The fruity esters, spice and warming alcohol need room to breathe.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
