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!

750 ml bottle: Pours amber with a very large frothy head. Heavy aroma of tarts. Sour and tart flavor. Very good.

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.

This beer was weird for me. Poured a cherry brown color, with a sour funky smell. Remember those giant chewy SweetTarts, that came 3 in a pack? This beer tastes like the red one.

Rich copper orange body, thick beige head, very effervescent. Fruity sour funky JP aroma, toffee, wood. Flavor: sour, winey, wood, grapey, tannins. Quite deft in body. Very unique flavor for an american beer, and easily one of JP’s better ones.

Beautiful deep cherry color, translucent near the bottom and becoming darker near the thick, creamy head. Oak on the nose, with huge Belgian floral notes coming through with the first sip. Lots of sourness, with cherry, bitter unripened peach, ans spice in the background.

750 ml bottle. Batch #256. Pours a mahogany brown with a tall off white head that fades down quickly. Aroma is really nice. Lots of oak, barnyard, cherries, touch of spice. I’m surprised by the tartness of the flavors. Oak, apples, cherries, cherry pits, with an earthy oak finish that dries out nicely. This is really refreshing. I’m really surprised by this one, another great JP. And that label is pretty sweet too.

A nice reddish-brown body with a quickly diminshing white head. Aroma is lightly spicy, somewhat like a Lambic wiht a slight hop accent. Taste is sour accented, with an oak accent citrus taste. Ending is again oaked citrus, with a light effervescent quality.
