4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
0,75 bottle @ home from Meny Kolsås. Pours cloudy golden with a huge creamy and fluffy head that stays up for a long time. Leaves a high floating island in the middle. Aroma of fruits, apple, hop and some citrus. Medium body with high carbonation. Sweet taste that turns into a long bitter finish. Nice
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
3-2011 bottle. The pour created a very thick head that stayed with it for the whole glass. A milder ale for a bitter ale. Almost had a little bit of a soapy taste. Take these comments and rating for what they are worth, I am not a huge sour beer guy.

Bottle from Fenaknoken enjoyed at home
A slow gusher. Pours copper hazy with a big light tanned head. Smells of earthy tones, berries, apple, some malts and of course the expected JP brett. Nice light malted body, nice sweetness and some nice but not very dominant acids. At least not as dominant as Jolly Pumkin normally use brett in beers. Totally this beer feels a bit like a ESB, even with the brett. Nice bitter finish with alot of earthy tones and some tiny resin tones. Totally a very very nice beer. Very delicate balance with both sweetness, soursness and bitterness. Harmony

Pours a hazy orange with massive white billowing head. Aroma is lightly sour and fruity. Nice and refreshing. Flavor is hoppier and crisp.

3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured nice amber color with an over-sized light tan head which gave great lacing. Present but not overpowering floral hop nose. Well balanced flavor profile from sweet malt to hop bitterness. Some yeasty astringency which was not very nice. Overall nothing special.

4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a slightly hazy reddish orange, with an enormously huge fluffy head. It is slow to recede, and leaves a tuft of compact, solid, bitter foam in the middle of the glass. The yeast is very alive and well and active. The aroma is full of Bretty funk, cheese, apples, pears, dusty hops, yeast. Light bodied with high spritzy carbonation. Refreshing and fruity, the finish is cider like, slightly sour, musty, with a solid bitterness. Exceptional beer, but should be categorized as a saison, it doesn’t taste like any bitter I’ve ever had.
