COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A rich brown ale inspired by the enigmatic monastic brews of Belgium, and the mysterious mist shrouded jungles of the tropics. Brewed with real cacao, and spiced with cinnamon and sweet orange peel for a sensual delight. A brew to be sipped, savored, and enjoyed!

Hank1980 (942) - Athens, USA - JUN 14, 2008
Poured a murkey brown with light colors on the edges. Head is a beige foamy color. Aroma is sweet, fruity, sour. Taste is of sweet fruit, sour funk, yeast, caramel, spice, with a bitter finish. There is also a vinous characteristic as well. Sourness is the overwhelming flavor. This should probably be classified as a sour, though it is less sour than La Roja. Body is not too big, medium, with some mild carbonation. A nice complex brew.

rodenbach99 (1935) - Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 3, 2012
Style et résumé: Wild ale américaine aromatisée au cacao, pelure d’orange et cannelle.
Comment: Bouteille de 750ml , capsule métallique, partagée avec slovaksniper. Batch 937 embouteillée le 19 décembre 2011 .
Description: Bière ambrée avec une blanche-beige durable. Le nez est classique pour un produit Jolly, il y a des levures sauvages contrôlées, des bretts et un côté fruité. La bouche est savoureuse, pleine de saveurs de brett. Le cacao se fait discret mais il offre probablement cette finale astringente. Il y a une touche boisée fort agréable. Une autre bière réussie par cette brasserie américaine.
Note: 7+/10

SlovakSniper (1373) - Candiac, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 3, 2012
(75 cl dans deux verres. Merci Yan!) Batch 937. Embouteillée le 19-12-2011. Un liquide qui présente une robe ambrée. Une mousse beige qui se dépose avec la ferme intention de perdurer. Un nez de JP avec des petites fleurs épicées et des agrumes sucrés. Des saveurs rafraîchissantes touchées par la levure et par une certaine douceur maltée. Des épices plus évidentes lorsque le liquide devient chaud. Un fond fruité, des notes acidulées, aigrelettes et asséchantes. Un corps de moyenne densité avec un pétillement actif et une texture finement huileuse. Une finale parfumée, jamais agressante et sèche.

På fat på Mikkeller. Kopparfärgad disig öl med lite skum. Doftar omogna äpplen, ek och lite funkighet. Fruktig öl med en avslutning som drar lätt i kinderna. En trevlig amerikansk version av belgisk öl.

LOVE THIS. JP is becoming one of my favorite brewers. Aroma of chocolate, spices, funk, citrus, and spices. Taste is mild tartness and light funk with a chocolatey roasted backbone.

JanLaursen (1123) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 21, 2012
Draught at CBC. Presented as ABV 6,1, Hazy dark reddish amber, small off-white head. Aroma is caramel, light sourness, oak, fresh dark fruits. Flavor is fruity, malty sweetness, dry herbal hops, kinda dusty, tart finish. Rather light body - I am a little disappointed, I have come to expect a lot from Jolly Pumpkin, this wasn’t up to standard.

Bottle @ Haand festival. Pour murky brown, with no head. Aroma is slightly funky and slightly hoppy. Pretty standard in my opinion. Taste is slightly bitter. Average body, with an average carb.
