Commercial Description:
This delicious farmhouse ale is named for our Jack Russell, who struck by a car, bounced back in fine tenacious Jack Russell fashion, and is brewed for those of us who knocked down, have picked up, dusted off and carried on undaunted. Golden, naturally cloudy, bottle conditioned and dry hopped for a perfectly refreshing balance of spicy malts, hops and yeast. Please enjoy our beers in good health, And look both ways when crossing the street!

batch 273/274. Pours cloudy golden with thick white head. Aroma is once again laoded with JP funk and sourness that transpires over everything else. Nose is rather fresh and fruity of green apples. Taste, funk, fruity, light apple/pear tartness. Signature JP mouthfeel with light vinegary palate. Not my favorite, but easy to drink.

Pours with a nice haze, the color of a ripe carambola, a pale peach with soapsuds head. Very aromatic and peculiar pedio-forward aroma. Some peach and plum skins, funky but not tart-smelling, some earth and exotic but mild spices and some wood character. High carbonation is a bit much, detracts. Very nice flavors, including solid clean cereal grains that add depth and texture, finishes very dry but not bitter or tart. Is woody and cheesy in nature too. Falls short for me because of the pedio and the fizziness but still fun.

Opaque golden with low, rocky head. Looks gorgeous. The aroma is very dusty with no shortage of pedio. There’s also appley esters and some slightly doughy malts. The malty body has subtle fruitiness and a pleasant yeasty character. The carbonation is just sharp enough to cut through the malts. The finish is dry but refreshing, if a shade too gassy.

Huge fluffy white head.........light cloudy yellow color. Big funky aroma.......dirt, straw, floral and citrus. The flavor is much of the same. almost a touch of vinager. This is my second go around with a this style........not my favorite but well done none the less.

This poured hazy and light golden in color with a white head that faded gradually. The aromas were of lemon rind, grapefruit, pine and some spice. In the mouth it is light-bodied with lots of carbonation and tartness. The finish turns dry and maintains the bitter tartness from the front of the palate.

bottle - poured hazy straw color with massive foaming head. It’s like a rabid dog!!! Aroma - ripe green apples, lemon, wheat and yeast. Flavor - very little taste, some yeast and mild wheat flavor with alittle spice, Palate - light mouthfeel with above average carbonation. Finish is lemony with no aftertaste. Overall - This beer is like drinking a kiddie cocktail. Too expensive for lack of flavor!!!!

On tap at Blue Tractor. Cloudy amber-orange with a minimal white, sticky head. Yeasty, fruity, sour aroma. Taste has similar notes, a little sweet and sticky at first but finishing nicely dry and hoppy. Plenty of fruity tartness and a little of the trademark "funk", though this is not as pronounced as in some other JP brews. Quite nice.
