Bottled sample via boutip. Hazy orange in cololur with moderate champagne-like carbonation. Aromas of funk Belgian yeast, coriander, light herbal hops, and a bit of wood. There’s a bit of light malt flavor in the mouth, along with more wood, funk, gentle hops, spice, and some lemony sourness. Fairly dry with a light fruity finish. It hides it’s 6.5% AVB very well. Overall, this isn’t a beer that’s going to blow your mind, but it’s very gentle and well balanced.

Nice, deep cheddar orange brew with an aroma of spicy, sweet wood- mostly cedar, but perhaps a bit of pine as well. . Flavor is oak-tinged seltzer water in a mixture of zesty lemon lime. Mouthfeel reminds me of a Pilsner with an attitude. Refreshing brew. Wouldn’t mind more of this.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle from John’s Market Place in Portland, OR--Poured a shiny yet hazy copper-amber body with a thick rough off-white head. Nose of rich caramel and funk. Spiciness coupled with fruit notes such as apples, pears, and flower peddles. Subtle booziness lingered. Carried on with a bright prickly carbonic tongue presence and finished sour, bitter, sweet, and dry.

Aug 16, 2008 Bomber at Jerry’s. Cloudy caramel-amber with big, foamy beige head / Big, aromatic nose of fruit and caramel / LIght bodied, tart and crisp, delicate carbonation, with silky, balanced body underneath, and long finish / Flavors of green apple, lemon, pear, caramel, chrysanthemum, oak, coriander, and a touch of earthy funk / Lacking a little of the complexity (maybe?) of other JP offerings, but still spectacular.

Aug 9, 2008 Pours a dark golden cloudy hue. Head is big and white, with lots of lacing. Nose of funk, tart fruit, oak. Taste is similar with apple, spice, hops, and plenty of sourness. Some mild yeast as well. Mouth is carbonated and relatively light. Finish is bitter, sour, and sweet.

Aug 8, 2008 750Ml Bottle-Cloudy golden color w/a huge foamy head. Strong alcohol aroma. Funky, woodsy flavor of spiced apples, lemon, colander, orange peel, & oak. Mouthfeel is very thin & reminds me of a cheap scotch. Thought this one was just to far out there & out of balance to enjoy. Long, burnt liquor finish.
