Jolly pumpkin biere de goord. 750ml bottle from a recent trade...pours a light golden orange hue with a thin wispy soapy white head... Aroma of a nice mild funk with pineapply, peach, and grapefruit essence. Sour for the majority but almost resembling a subtler cuvee de castleton from captain lawrence... Flavors are very drinkable with a tart yet mild funk alongside a grapefruity presence. jolly pumpkin’s house funk and oak characteristics very much come into play here. . pumpkin seemed lacking for the most part as did any other spice thought i can’t say that it hurt its enjoyability overall. Very much enjoyed. 8/4/8/4/17

750mL Bottle. Tart, spiced, and very, very, very musky aroma. A taste of immaculately fresh white grapefruit. I was really worried about the level of spicing in this beer, but this is pleasantly soft and married. Spices don’t overwhelm, but instead add to the complexity of the beer in a way that makes it a unique and fun Saison. Never soapy, always light and refreshing, but flavorful. I keep coming back to grapefruit and grapefruit rind as the overriding, spice-like emergence. Maybe a touch of lime. Good, good stuff. Young in a way, as it’s not that sour.

Thanks to the guys who shared this with me in line @ Jackie O’s. Hazy gold pour with a fizzy white head. Aroma is lacto and slightly vegetal. I was a little put off at my initial first whiff. Medium tart. Dry but not super dry. Spicy, vegetal, oaky tannins. Nice saison

bottle with a bigtime thanks to kan for sending this my way. excited to try this. drinking this the day after dexter got hit by some sort of funnel cloud. nose has notes of floral, hibiscus, earthy grass, and JP typical fruity peppery yeast. taste is lemongrass, pepper, spice, light toast and dough. real nice. not much pumpkin or kale to speak of. light green tea presence if you ponder it. pretty nice stuff. earthy, complex, spicy saison sour beer.

Pour is bright hazed orangey yellow with a thin, sticky and bright white head...smell is sweet and fruity at first...sweet with grapes, apples, pears...then some wonderful wood and Jolly Pumpkin deliciousness...nice funky notes...the taste...well, it is as if this was a wonderful collaboration between JP and Fantome...very earthy and herbal at first with leaves, horseblanket, and earth...then a lightly bitter grapeskin then fantastic light sour funk...lingeringly earthy funky finish...very well done...I didn’t get any pumpkin really...

Thanks to Redlight for cracking this beauty. Hazy gold pour with thick white head. Huge sour apple, pumpkin, pepper aroma. Tart light malt body with hints of pumpkin and pepper. My prostate feels better already.

Bottle shared by Turdferguson. Cheers, Sam. Pours a bright cloudy golden with lovely and large white head. Aroma is Jolly Pumpkin-esque. Lemony and bright. Taste is tart, with wood and earth notes and citrus rind. The kale is actually present and pretty good. Very interesting.

bottle thanks to blutt59. poured hazy yellow with a white head. aroma was citrus, funky cherry, and pumpkin. flavor was lemon, funky, and oak? with a light and dry body.

sample from a 750ml bottle @ the Denver Rare Beer Tasting II on 9/17/10. golden pour with a 1/4" white head. spice nose with some yeast. medium body with a slight sweetness, yeast, spices, light pumpkin and flavors of Brett. Some wood notes make there way through. dry and carbonated sweet finish. very nice rare saison!

Thanks to deyholla for this sample at DLD11. Yellow white pour. Earthy wheat aroma funky and interesting in the way that JP does so well. Citrus wheat flavors light some sour earthy flavors. More subtle than I expected. Bitter fresh finish. Decent beer. 7/3/8/4/15
