| 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.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 24, 2007 Fairly dry. Lambic like funk, but it is not a very acidic beer. The nuts and spices really come through and it is richly flavored. dchmela (1476), Orlando, Florida, USA

Slightly sour wood, light apple tart, and sweet malt taste. Interesting, but only ok. robinvboyer (1444), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada

aroma is very fruity with apples, and slight banana comming through. Flavour is fruity, with some peppery notes like a saison, and some caramel in the finish. Quite a complex beer, lots going on. Very very nice. fredandboboflo (1431), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 3, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of plastic, caramel malt, toasted coconut, standard JP funk. Flavor a mix of caramel malt and that JP funk. A little more body and malt to balance the by now boring funk than in some other JP’s, but still not really getting me going.

| 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. j12601 (1412), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
