What a wonderful beer. Poured a beautiful deep amber color with with a huge white head. Hoppy, funky aromas, a bit our sourness that follows into the flavor. Very dry and crisp. Reminded me a lot of Orval, and that is a good thing. Complex flavor, cherries, figs, sweet malts and a lingering funk finish. This beer was great. Jolly Pumpkin is quickly becoming one of my favorite breweries.

Aug 21, 2008 750ml bottle-pours a dissipating light tan head and hazy amber/brown color. Aroma is vinegar/tart fruit. Taste is vinegar/tart fruit-cherry, oak/grain, some medium malt. Not my style, but with cherry pie, nicer.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. High creamy and long lasting light brown head. Hazy orange red to brown body. Spicy fruity hoppy aroma with notes of alcohol. Complex flavor of mild fruits, rhybarb and cherries I think, and spices with low carbonation, fair amount of hops bitterness and a long bitter sweet aftertaste. Alcohol well hidden.

Aug 16, 2008 Pour is a murky brown with a average white head. Aroma is of red wine and vinegar with some tart cherry. Flavor is very tart with some red wine like qualities with a bit of cherry and other berry fruits. Finish leaves a wood smoke on the tounge but nothing over powering. I used to not care for sour ales but in the hands of the right brewer they can do amazing things.

Aug 16, 2008 Oozed upon opening. Red-amber color with a light, large-sized head, lots of lacing. Nose is acidic and slightly woody, berry fruit and caramel sweetness, dust, and coconut. The flavor is initially acidic and incredibly carbonated, but as it warms, sweet berries emerge to couple with dusty wood and strong yeast, cutting carbonation. Dry. Yum!

Aug 15, 2008 Still new to the sour GAYME. This was mighty nice and refreshing. A fun beer to drink and pick a part. The bottle is sexy as hell, and the beer is even sexier.
