Unfiltered honey colored body with a big white soapy active head. Aroma of citrus fruit, spice, and yeast. It is a wonderfully colorful aroma being complex and layered. Flavor is more tart than the aroma would indicate. It is honey, grapefruit, pineapple, pepper. Mildly bitter. Carbonation is very active in the mouth. I do like the lower ABV.

Jul 6, 2008 Batch 273,274. Happily, this is the first JP beer I’ve opened that failed to spray most of its contents out on the kitchen counter. Good start! Poured a lovely honey gold with a white head reminiscent of a lemon meringue pie. Funky yeast and citrus nose. Flavor was beautifully spicy and lemony with just a whiff of hop bitterness. Finishes very dry, very refreshing. This, along with the nice light, bubbly mouthfeel make it the perfect beer for a July heatwave.

Jul 4, 2008 bottle. Pours hazy gold with enormous rocky head. Aroma of yeast, fruit, with slight sourness. Flavor is thin but delightful, with slight sourness. Pomegranite or some other unidentified fruitiness. Nice and dry.

Jun 30, 2008 Bottle courtesy of bgburdman9. Pours a slightly cloudy gold colour with a big white head, lots of carbonation, and some lacing. Big funky aroma with some brett notes and some sourness. Little lacking in the flavour department: just thin. Some nice tart notes with a little spice but also something akin to ?soap? Okay I suppose but not a favourite of mine.

Jun 27, 2008 The first thing that strikes me is one of the most beautiful heads that I had see in a long time. Very Fluffy eggshell white that just didn’t want to go away. Lovely spices are pornounced w/ just a hint of tartness.
