Jolly Pumpkin Bam Biere

Bottle: Pours golden with a thick head. Slight aroma of hops. Flavor of citrus, hops and yeast. Very good.

Pretty potent beer for 4.5% abv but the potency lies in its flavor which has a yeasty sour punch with some lemon and citrus tones underneath the funk. The carbonation seems low yet there is a chewable woody mouthfeel which makes this one a joy to drink.

Sour and bitter, with high levels of carbonation. Nose of citrus and subdued malts in the background. Taste is like a wit or a hefeweizen on steroids. Lots of citrus and acidic tones. Peppery and very warming. Light and flavorful with a highly carbonated mouthfeel. Very nice use of a "wild" yeast in this beer.

12 oz. bottle as a generous gift from santoslhalper. Pours a cloudy straw yellow with a foamy white head that dissipates rather quickly with just a little lacing. Nose is citrusy, with some banana and spice, almost hefe-esque, but with a more predominant sour touch. Taste is fruity, almost wit-esque with spice, coriander, orange peel. Citrus fruit tartness, sour notes of light apple vinegar. Dry finish with sour and bitter notes. Mouthfeel is pretty fizzy. This is a fantastically sessionable beer, even in the dead of winter in western PA. I’d love to have a few of these around come summer. It seems like it’d be a good deck beer.

Bottle. Hazy golden with a big, creamy off-white head. Yeasty aroma as well as some potent sourness. Dry sour flavours, hints of cedar wood and talc. Warming alcohol. Quite fizzy. Creamy. A wonderful saison for the Midwest harvest.

(750ml bottle) Purchased at Whole Foods in Seattle for $6.99. Enormous frothy white head with a highly carbonated golden amber body. Looks like a ginger ale and vanilla ice cream float. Nose is great - wild weed aroma with a coriander backing and white pepper. Very yeasty flavour yet is muted by a mild vinegar linger. Sweet lemongrass, tart apples and a tinny head round out the tongue.

Poured into a Duvel tulip. Golden straw coloured with a massive chunky white head. Nose- fantastic smell of wood and vinegar sourness. Creates a pavlovian reaction in my mouth as I’m drooling to get into this beer. Taste- very subtle brew, citrus sourness, with light pale malts. Woody dryness, but still a juicy tanginess. Wonderfully crafted and amazingly flavourful for <5% beer. Mouthfeel is light bodies, but still has a creamy texture. Drinkability is through the roof. I could drink pail after pail of this stuff. One of my favourite beers.

12oz gusher. Hazy yellow with a small white head. Nice farmhouse, funk, horse-blanket nose. Very carbonated, lemony, spicy, peppery with the saison style coming through strong. Body is bit thin. Good refreshing summer beer that is a fast drinker. We need these down here in Texas.
