Jun 24, 2009 25 oz bottle. Pours a clear orange body with a thin fizzy white head that vanished completely fairly quickly. The nose is a little sweet for being a Belgian Pale, some honey, candi sugar, light belgian yeast, and maybe a little diacetyl. The flavor is pretty muddled, too much sweetness, not enough belgian character, and almost zero hops. That diacetyl comes out more on the finish the more it warms up. Mouthfeel is a little slick with an annoying clingy finish. A good bit of fizzy prickly carbonation. This was not good. Poor execution and obvious brewing flaws.

Jun 11, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Clear copper, fleeting,small white head, no lace. Grainy aroma, some light stone fruit, and a distant floral character. Slightly watery, very little carbonation. Lightly sweet fruit flavors continue into the finish, which kind of washes out.

May 23, 2009 Tasted 1/29/09. 22oz bomber. Explosive upon opening. Lost about a third of the brew to eruption. Golden bronze hue with three fingers of lacing bone whitehead. Aromas of cirtus and peppery. Good yeasty aromas. Medium bodied and crsip. Astringent effervescence. Nice, almost chalky yeast character. Decent malt backbone , but the yeast is the dominant flavor. Followed closely by the hops, which are piney and citrusy. Finishes crisp.

May 21, 2009 Unfiltered version from growler pciked up at the brewery today. Hazy amber/orange pour with plenty of carbonation with a fruity belgian/pear aroma. Flavor was plenty of malt, belgian yeast and finished a little sweet and fruit. Good for a summer bbq.

May 21, 2009 Updated: Oct 5, 2009Bottle into a pint glass. Pours a nice copper orange color with a nice pale white head. Aroma is of malt and a bit of spice. The first sip reminded me of sour cherries followed by orange and the destinctive taste of a belgian yeast. Took my a few sips to decide if I liked it but by the end I was sure this was a pretty good brew.

Apr 2, 2009 Shimmering red-amber, small beige head. Musty nose of apple pie, caramel. Yeasty flavor of apple, pear, honey, and bread, some grassy notes surfacing. A little thin, watery, and short. Ok stuff, but Jolly Pumpkin has done 6-8 better domestic Belgians and I can’t get around how little this offers by comparison.
