5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20Here is the story; I left my house last night, going to the hospital with my wife. 4½ hours later I return with my new born son Melvin, a perfect little boy. Sitting in my couch at 1 am looking at him I need something to celebrate and find my newly arrived EYO from JP in the fridge.
It might be the situation or it might just be the beer, but this is the most perfectly balanced beer I can remember having since.....well since Orval maybe. Fruit, funk, drinkability is just perfect. It makes me think, this is the kind of beer thats the reason I’m in the beer business, the reason I started drinking craft beers to begin with. Thanks a lot JP and cheers to my new son Melvin! I will take you to Dexter when you are old enough so that you can experience maybe the greatest brewery in the world for yourself!

Pink crazy active head. The deep amber red color can not be penetrated by the room light. Smells fragrant like soaps and flowers. The taste is beautifully floral and the texture of it ripples over your tongue like licking the petal of a delicate flower. Dry floral taste carries you deep into the sip till the tartness takes over then at the end the floral dryness returns. It is amazing!!!

Strong fruit/floral with a bit of wheat aroma. Crazy pink foamy head. Watch out for that foam! Tastes floral as fuck at first with a dry tart aftertaste. Very balanced. Amazing beer!

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.
