Bottle, 12 oz. First of all, this beer has the most head of any beer I’ve ever tasted, seen, whatever. If, like some of the raters below, you don’t get a head, you have the wrong beer, a bad beer, or you have the most gentlest pouring motion ever witnessed on our planet. The lacing is so thick, it’s more like horizontal head growing from the side of the glass, a freaking wide-mouthed trappist glass! My lord. No head??? What??? What are people rating here??? Ok, anyway. Aroma of grass, light hops, funk, sourness, earthiness, meadowness, lusciousness. Flavor expands on these notes with complex earthy/sour/grainy notes. A nice balance between sweet and dry. Fantastic brew, and terribly underrated at 3.67.

Jul 20, 2008 Very light yellow pour. Nice lacing. Fruity nose. Somewhat sweet. Overcarbonated. A touch malty. Not bad at all. Very frothy clingy head.

Jul 20, 2008 Highly enjoyable Saison, still my favorite "summer" type "seasonal" beer. Jolly Pumpkin does well to make this very drinkable yet sensational enough to warrant its price tag. Bitter and smooth.

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.
