Bottle (330 ml). Thanks to Pier-Luc for sharing this one! Unclear golden with a small persistent white head and some lacing. There was some particles in my glass that make the beer loose an appearance point but it’s still a good looking beer. Nice aroma where the Saison yeast is recognizable but the lambic take most of the place. Notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple and brett with funky barnyard notes. Taste of fruits (lemon, grapefruit, green apple and grapes), wood and good sourness. Mouthfeel is dry. Good carbonation. This beer is a very good blend and probably the best JP beer I’ve had so far.

Bottle, 12/23/2011 - thanks Deyholla! Pours hazy golden amber with a small fizzy off-white head that dissipates quickly with a bit of lacing. Aroma is tart - bretty yeast, horse blanket, funk, lemon. Flavor is about the same, lightly tart, only a bit of sweetness, with a lingering dry tart finish. Very little astringence from the wood. Quite tasty!

Caterwaul (20) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JAN 7, 2013
Nearly opaque peachy orange. Looks really pretty. Faint citrus(grapefruit stands out) and funk. Wood. Sweet, sour, and vinous with lots of citrus and tropical fruit, particularly grapefruit, lemon, passion fruit, and pineapple. Finishes with bitter pink grapefruit and oaky funk. Dry as a bone. I’d love to get another taste of this, but I doubt I’ll ever see it again. Rats!

Shared by ygtbsm94. Thanks Brad! The beer appears straw yellow colored with 3/4" white head which leaves a thick sheet of sticky lacing slowly cascading down the snifter. The aroma is delightful. Sour, funk, grass, lemons, lemon zest, pepper. The flavor is equally enjoyable. Complex and well balanced. Loads of funk with a floral hop finish. Lemons and a hint of assorted citrus. Really drinkable. I would love to have more of this. One of the most delicious beers I have had from Jolly Pumpkin. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 06-04-2012

Pours slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is sour with an aroma almost like belgian lambic with a vinegar and acetone. Taste is light sweet and medium to heavy sour with a dry, sour finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.
