Interesting take on a golden. Lovely clear golden pour with generous white head. Yeasty, sour/oaky, spicy, and with a peppery dryness. Very lemony/key-limey; a bit astringent in its acidity... some bitterness in the midst of all that citrus. Very good, if possibly divisively tart.

Aug 5, 2008 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.

Aug 3, 2008 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.

Jul 26, 2008 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.
