Bottle. Aroma has cheese, yeast, some citrus and more spice. Hazy, yellow coloured with a good, white head. The taste is slightly sour/citric, a bit sweet and has yeast and spice. Well balanced, good brew.

750 ML Bottle-Cloudy golden color w/a Moderate white head. Spiced, floral aroma. Crisp, clean, Belgian flavors of floral hops, yeast, spices, apples lemons, & white grapes. Had a fair amount of carbonation to it. Long, dry finish. Nothing too complex, but a very enjoyable summer brew.

Pour is cloudy yellow with a fizzy white. Smell is tart and sweet and lightly funky. Taste is similar with dry, dusty oak and lightly peppery spiciness and mild hop bitterness. I always have a difficult time describing Jolly Pumpkin beers, and this was no exception, however I did seem to like this a bit more than most others from them that I’ve had.

On tap at the MBG summer fest 08’. Nice nose, funky and floral, with some oak coming through. Flavor is tart up front, some more oak, citrus, a sweet backbone, lemon. Very enjoyable.

750 ml bottle. Pour is a hazy light orange with a fluffy white head that sits around 2 fingers or so. Aromas are sour and funky (surprise) with a kind of grassy note to them. At the same time, they’re a little underpowered. Flavor is very tart and acidic with some oak type background music and a pretty obvious alcohol presence. I was kind of hoping for a nice sour of some sort tonight, but for some reason this one just isn’t resonating.
