| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 28, 2007 25.4 oz bottle. Started foaming as soon as the cap was cracked. Had to suck suds a while to get it to settle down as it kept bubbling up the bottle neck even after a glass was poured. Foggy pink brown with a rocky tan head that leaves chunky striations. Candied violets, sweet funk, barnyard and some hay. Lightly sour with a dusty peach pit and nectarine skin tartness. Mild bitter nutmeg finish. Soft, puffy carb; reminds me of meringue cookies.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 22, 2007 Has the definite presence of malts and spices, I can feel the heat the spices on the back of my throat. The head pour outs and just stays there. however the mild sour taste of the beer sorta ruins this for me. not really for me. nick76 (2656), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jun 22, 2007 The aroma has some nuts but mostly sourness, yeast, and spice. The appearance is hazy amber with a huge foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is typical for the style. You can tell it’s a quality beer but it just doesn’t taste that great.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 20, 2007 Glowing amber. Large, frothy, off white head. Nose of sour, funky yeast, toasted nuts, spices, and bready malt. The brett is really kickin in this one after almost a year. Same flavors as above with the sourness dominating, some earth and oak in there as well. Medium body, well carbonated. Tasty brew. beerguy101 (3872), Newark, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 18, 2007 This Belgian Ale pours a medium amber color from a 750ml bottle. Large to huge sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and sweet. Hops are floral. Lively carbonation. Nice balance. It starts kind of fruity and sweet and finishes a touch tart. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly tart. shp555 (1681), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 12, 2007 Pours a deep hazy orange color with a white head. Aroma is malts, apples, and figs. Flavor is malty, apples, figs, and some roastyness. brentfeesh (1037), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 12, 2007 Enjoyed at NoogFest III. 750ml bottle. Pours hazy orange with a big frothy head that never stops coming. Fairly light aroma with sweet hints of fruit and spicy yeast. Apple (?). The flavor is probably the best I’ve had from a Jolly Pumpkin. Light spice and lemon fruit with that signature Jolly Pumpkin yeasty funky business. Nothing over powering like many of their others IMO. Saison like actually and enjoyable in flavor. Way too carbonated for me though (as is usual for their beers). However, overall I liked this one. It was refreshing. Shag (1923), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 10, 2007 An amber appearance with a large foaming head. Which seems to be standard for JP. The aroma was filled with strong citrus and some caramel. A bit of grapefruit and lemons showing up with a caramel and nutty backbone. A malty and sour finish. It was good but not one of thier best.
