Certainly not the delicious Jubel Ale of times past; but not even the Jubel Ale of the last couple of years. I can barely taste anything! Like eating a slice of plain white bread--nothing at all too this and I'm sorry I bought a case of tasteless beer. Maybe it will start tasting better in November as another poster mentioned??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-9297845308423169752011-11-21T17:49:38.898-08:002011-11-21T17:49:38.898-08:00Thumbs down on the new taste.

I liked years past, but last years really didn't do it for me.. too much in the spice department. Perhaps this dryer flavor will bring me back to it. I am not a huge fan of the style overall.Brewmancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16046122596566950185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-1811875092512929672011-11-03T12:48:14.432-07:002011-11-03T12:48:14.432-07:00This is interesting because someone at the Brewery...This is interesting because someone at the Brewery told me it was the same Jubelale as previous years, just this year's EKG hop crop was different.<br /><br />But given Gary's comments, I wouldn't be surprised if they've used a bit of sour mash in the formulation this year, I've heard Gary speak of how adding a bit of sour mash really makes a beer pop... so no wood or Brett Jonhttp://www.thebrewsite.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-47588234808530835162011-11-03T12:25:44.081-07:002011-11-03T12:25:44.081-07:00I actually preferred this years version over last ...I actually preferred this years version over last years as well.

While the beer did have a drying effect I still really enjoyed it and wasn't disappointed at all.

This year, I bought a single 12oz bottle and liked it so much that I followed that up with a full case purchased at Costco.ChaseTnoreply@blogger.com
