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!

Bottle: cloudy orange with a lasting foamy white head, citrus aroma, taste is citrus, spice, dry, some sourness - overall kinda reminds me of champagne, not really my kind of beer but it is interesting.

Aroma: Barnyard brett, spicy clove, and fruity pineapple. Nice. Appearance: Huge, creamy white head upon pour, cloudy straw color. Flavor: Spicy and bretty with a dry finish. Some hop notes, and some malt sweetness, but pretty dry. Palate: Good carbonation and thinnish body makes for a dry finish, but very refreshing and to style. Overall: Very interesting beer, very drinkable. Brett is there but some hop and other yeast character shines through, Brett does not overpower beer. Good stuff. Smaller Saison but full of flavor.

Pours hazy deep yellow with a big pillowy head that sticks around. Some nice floaties in ther also. Nice light farmehouse funk with some citris, lemon and just a bit of light spice. Taste is pretty much the same as the aroma. Jolly Pumkin has the subtle taste down pact. The mouthfeel almost feels watery but yet has tons of flavor at the same time!

Pours a hazy golden color with a decent sized chunky head. Aroma is citrus and some funk. Interesting flavor, sweet and tart with a little bite at the end.

Sitting here, looking at my glass and reading a few BP reviews. Did they get a fresh bottle? Did the funk inside not have time to develop? Because the beer I had was like a mini-gueuze in terms of horseblankety goodness. Tart, lemony, and a bit peppery in the nose to go with that funky funk. Appearance is a cloudy mustard yellow, huge billowy head with lots of clumps here and there as the head goes down. Flavor was tart, citric, slightly bitter, a touch of yeast, subtle pepper/spicy notes while the entire time the beer just dances on your tongue. Excellent beer. Reminded me in some ways of Girardin black label, just really, really toned down. Excellent beer and I highly recommend it.

Wonderful Beer ... spicy and tart without being sour. Fantastic nose, and pleasantly sweet with a well balanced hop background.

A bit of a gusher when opened up. The pour was a cloudy rich gold color with some faint copper highlights. Lots of turbidity and sediment floating. The head was off-white and quite nice. Creamy and long lasting, providing nice lacing. The aroma was a nice blend of malt, oak, sour fruit and light funk. The flavor had a distinct menthol and band-aid flavors that were a bit off-putting initially. As it opened up more flavors came into play, sour fruit, earthy, oak and funk. The mouthfeel was very nice and the brew was medium bodied.
