50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small off-white head. Citric and mild roasted malt aroma, vague note of brett. Dry wooden brett base flavoured with a mild toasted malt coming through. Smooth refreshing malty and mild brett finish. Another fine beer.

Bottle, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing. Pours a murky brownish-amber, with a small, off-white head. Aroma is sharp and slightly sour, of malt, hops, caramel, yeast. Taste is sharp and sour, of malt, yeast, hops. Lingering funky sourness. Pretty tasty.

16.9 oz bottle. Foggy orange brown with a pocked off-white head that leaves garlands of lace. Nose is sour, musty, bready, plastic and ginger verging on unpleasant. Medium light with sudsy carb. Taste is bitter lemon, soft cider vinegar and green grass. Finishes oily and earthy.

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph. Pours a wonderful, deep amber with a slight haze. Great, staying, frothy, off-white head. Aroma is heavily brett-y, lots of good strawberry notes, some grapefruity hops. A bit woody as well. Medium carbonation, quite watery and thin. Flavour is dry, lots of brett character, some fruity malts and an okay hoppy bite. Easy drinkable with a fine long aftertaste. Sad about the thin mouthfeel.

Bottle. Aroma has notes of sour candi, caramel malt, and fruits. Medium orange hue with a large off-white head that left great lace and mostly diminished. Flavor is sweet and malty then fades to a slightly bitter clean finish. Palate is medium bodied and soft. Typical JP brew with funk and sour tones through out that over power the brew. If I can get past that though I have to admit I’m starting to like this whole sour beer thing. As far as a pale ale goes it fucking blows but as far as a sour brew goes it’s ok, but that’s all.

Shared at tjthresh’s house - Aroma is floral perfumey hops, caramel, oak and slight bretty funk. Pours brown with a big fluffy head and great lacing. Flavor matches aroma with the yeast making it almost doughy. Still distinctive JP funk. Palate is chewy and tart. A great tasting brew.
