Mar 31, 2008 Bottle: Poured a golden yellow with a nice amount of head. The aroma was somewhat peppery, yeasty and hoppy. The flavor was delicious with some sweet citrus and earthy tones. Overall, an excellent brew from this new found (to me) brewery. Can’t wait to try more from Jolly Pumpkin.

Mar 30, 2008 12oz. bottle, somewhere beyond a year old, and can’t believe I’m finally getting around to rating this. Pour is a cloudy light golden and hugely effervescent, with a giant towering bright white bubbly head that seemingly lasts forever, and leaves large clumps of sticky lace. I got a bit carried away on the third pour as I waited for the head to subside and overdid it - there was a good 1.5" or so of head well above the rim of the glass and no overflow! Aroma is funky, with spice, citrus fruits and earthy yeast. Flavor follows the aroma in good form, with more funk, light citrus and gentle spice. Very enjoyable and a nice intro to the world of Jolly Pumpkin!

Mar 30, 2008 Hazy deep gold with big white head. Spicy hoppy nose, watch the head, can come up and bite you when taking a whiff. Flavor has all sorts of spice with a bite from the hops. Has a little sourness to it, which makes it very interesting. I really can’t belive all the carbination this thing has. Nice finish that keeps you thinking of all the spice.

Mar 29, 2008 From bottle : Pours a slightly hazy, golden color, with good carbonatation. A big two fingers of rocky white foam form on top, and has great retention, lasting pretty much throughout the whole beer. Nose is big time barnyard smells, with some spices and a little hit of hops im getting. Taste is again like the other saisons i have tried....weird, lol. It is kinda bland, but has spices and yeast tastes. Medium mouthfeel, but finishes thick and creamy. Aftertaste is carbonated, and spicey. Decent

Mar 27, 2008 A good introduction to JP. Mature and hoppy. It’s not going to be the all-star at the show but a solid performer. Tastes like a great beer, plain and simple.

Mar 27, 2008 This golden ale poured with a massive off-white head and a fruity aroma. There is a spicy hoppy flavor that is, unfortunately a bit thin. It’s refreshing, but doesn’t provide enough taste to be on a par with the good Belgian saisons. The bottle does sport a great label, which is typical of Jolly Pumpkin.

Mar 24, 2008 Certainly a fine beer, but not on a bar with the best Belgian farm house ales or Saisons, and not on a par with the best from jJlly Pumpkin. Gets a bonus point for being under 5% alcohol, but loses at least one for costing so much more than a Dupont. Cloudy orange, huge foamy head. Funky nose but the flavor does not deliver the necessary complexity, merely some sourness and a touch of hops.
