My buddy Matt bought a bottle of Leelanau Whaleback White, brewed at Jolly Pumpkin, from Al’s of Hampden, and brought it over to my house to share. The beer pours a golden color with a thin filmy white head. Following the pour, it is noticeable that this beer is very aromatic and smells of vinegar, sour lemon, orange peel, and wheat. The taste is sweet with wheat at first before sour lemon, orange, and vinegar kicks in. The alcohol content is 5.2% ABV. It is evident that since this beer was brewed at Jolly Pumpkin, there is the trademark Jolly Pumpkin sourness about it, providing a great sour accent to a white beer.
