May 6, 2008 Bottle shared by eaglefan, thanks Brian! Poured a nice sized tan head, retention is very good as is the lace, lightly hazy amber/orange color. Nose is pleasently spicey and malty, lightly doughy and a touch bretty. Body is med/light with a good carbonation level. Lively on the palate, lightly sour and acidic. Light fruit flavors, spices, bready malt notes, lightly sweet with a more palatable tartness, my level. Fairly dry finish is lightly tart but clean and lasting. Thanks again Brian!

May 3, 2008 Man I love this brewery! Big spicy caramelly aroma with some noticable funk. Pours a dark reddish amber with a thick tan head, looks delicious. I taste sour cherries right away with some apple skins, the body is sweet, caramelly, with a creamy oaky finish. Wow, this is a really great beer! This may be one of my favorites from Jolly Pumpkin, this a Lucieranaga.

May 3, 2008 Bottle from CaptainCougar. Pour was hazy golden-straw, high carbonation and head presence, solid Belgian ring-like lacing. The aroma was funky bret over top of some light fruitiness. The flavor followed, this came across as a typical Belgian Ale (minus spicing) that has been very nicely crafted: sourness, bread, light fruits, oak, barnyard. Mouthfeel is acidic, well carbonated, clean, crisp, a tad thin but probably heavy for the style. Thanks, Tom!

Apr 21, 2008 We start with the standard tart aroma of a Jolly Pumpkin beer. This pours a reddish amber, with a fluffy off-white head. Nice tart aroma, with hints of vanilla, and roast in the background. Nice and light on the palate. A very drinkable beer.
