Smashed Grabbed & Hop Dusted 2 (This Time It’s Personal) by Jolley Pumpkin Artisan Ales
If you are looking for a funky beer look no further. Smashed Grabbed & Hop Dusted 2 is a 6.5% sour IPA. Yes, you heard that right a sour IPA that is 35 IBU aged for 5 months in oak barrels. This beer is made up of Summit, Crystal, & Experimental HBC 342 Hops and Pilsner Malt, Wheat Malt, Vienna Malt, Flaked Wheat, Pale Malt, & Acidulated Malt grains.
This is the second beer in their Smashed, Grabbed, & Hop Dusted series which is a collaboration with Holy Mountain Brewing Company out of Seattle, Washington.
The hops give notes of apricot and citrus with a mildly tart and bitter body. Aroma of pineapple and stone fruit in the nose.
Overall, this beer screams IPA with that Jolly Pumpkin funk. If you like sour beers this will be right up your alley.

Sounds great! Love IPAs and sours, so this would be right up my alley. I've only had one or two that were done in that style. The oak would add something I haven't experienced in a beer like that though. I wish everything was available everywhere to try!
It has defiantly got that JP flare with the oak. I also wish that I could get my hands on any beer. I have a good bottle shop, but still there are so many brewery only releases.
I love the label, and I love the idea of just leaving your beer glass in the snow, probably wouldn't work here in Australia
Probably not lol. It’s a good way to chill down beer quickly. It wa alike 17 F when I took these photos. The head was freezing and I had to keep adding more beer to thaw it.
Wow talk about ice cold I can never get a set up like that here in South Florida, well maybe if I go to an Italian ice store. That graphic on the bottle looks so cool. I'm not big on sour beer but this one seems good.
Sour beers are growing me. Jolly Pumpkin is one of the best sour breweries in the world so that helps too. As for the snow, it’s beautiful to look at and for chilling beers, but hell to shovel. Thanks for the kind words. Cheers!

That is taking putting your beer on ice to completely new level!! Nice.
So true. You just can forget about them or the freeze solid.
