3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20Huge gusher upon opening, hopefully there was some left to be split 2-way. Pours murky brown with a nice and creamy white head. Smell is semi-funky with a hint of sourness detected. Nothing I could clearly point out as coming from the rose or hibiscus but still a bit of perfume here and there. Taste is mildly tart and fruity. Flavors are reminescent of La Roja but maybe a little subdued. A really nice saison still, a mighty fine one I would say!
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle (750 ml). Thanks to SourNotes! Clear copper with a medium, mostly lasting, white head and some lacing. Aroma is winey with roses, hibiscus, slight citrus presence, funky notes and a slight Saison yeast presence. Taste is also winey, but less intense than the aroma. Rose and hibiscus are presents along with funky notes and slight citrus. Mouthfeel is winey and a tad watery. Medium body. Slightly dry. Very good Saison. Less funky than other Jolly Pumpkin, but still really interesting. The rose petals and hibiscus gives this beer a unique profile.

Bouteille partagée par Tom10101, merci Tommy! Robe cuivrée, reflets rubicons. Arôme: barnyard, fruits, malt, levures. Bon équilibre en bouche. Petite touche d’acidité vineuse. Un peu terne en bouche. Ca reste une excellente saison!

Bottle. Pours a cloudy copper with thick, bubbly off-white head. Nose of barn funk, apple juice, dark cherries, rose hips and lactic acid. Taste is floral and light. Much more of the rose hips and petals, hibiscus come through on the palate. Some funk and cherries as well. One of my favorite JPs.

I was excited and scared to try this based on the description. Not usually a fan of "flower" flavors. This was funky and sweet/tart. Great sour.

750ml. Orange-brown. Oliy head. Not unlike every other JP under the sun....awesome. Mellow doughy malty tones. Sour tones of course. Straightforward, underlying vanilla tones. Another nice one.

bottle shared by mathieuc, thanks! gusher - hazy medium dark golden, red-pinkish hue, with a decent off-white head, some retention and lacing. light tart fruitiness along with breadied and toasted malts, woody notes, few spices, very nice floral bouquet, ginger-lemony notes. relatively dry. average carbonation for a saison, light body, nice lightly acidic and herbal-citrusy finish. a good saison.

Cloudy red - brown beer. Big fluffy pale cream coloured head. Mild sour lactose nose. Light dry palate. Flavour is somewhat odd. Mild lactose and watery hibiscus - tangy, Mild floral notes - really just a bare whisper of rose. Mild minerals. Dry finish. It’s okay but too wishy washy.
