| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 22, 2008 Pours brown-orange with a soft, frothy head. Aroma is fun of light citrus and delicate yeasts... very grassy. The flavor has a nice tartness to it... really nice saison. I think I need to try all of Jolly Pumpkin’s beers. satan165 (615), River Grove, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 21, 2008 brett overload! fruity saison aroma, full of yeast. color is wonderful clouded gold. VERY funky! well carbonated wtih small lingering head. nice damp flavor and mouthfeel, background of woodsy fruit. very dry, excellent interpretation -- or definition -- of a saison. this is so funky, both the aroma and flavor is beginning to remind me of BO, yet somehow its hugely enjoyable. also one of the dryest beers ever, with a finish almost causing me to pucker. stronger ABV could have knocked this out of the park, still its a success in my book. alraicercsu (166), Ft.Collins, Colorado, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 20, 2008 Bottle. Hazy gold with little to no head. Skunky aroma. I think I got a bad bottle KimJohansen (7149), Copenhagen V, Denmark

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 19, 2008 Yellow with a medium white head, somewhat cloudy. Aroma of earthy hops, grains, yeast, spice and toasted malt. Taste of earthy hops, lemon, citrus, yeast and mild hops. Finishes semi-dry, decent beer. MrChopin (703), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 15, 2008 Opaque golden-hay with a thick white head, lacing all over the glass. Nose of lemon, orange, flowers, pepper, and hay. Flavors are more sour, orange, pepper, aittle sulfur, and strong bitterness.Long-lasting spicy yeast. Palate is dry and foamy. Nice saison, though a little bitter for my taste, like Oude Beersel or Saison Dupont. A saison/sour combo that grows more sour and unfortunately watery with warmth. Still, it’s complex, refreshing, drinkable, and enjoyable. Yum! gotohelunc (476), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 5/5 | 11/20 | Sep 12, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy yellowish orange with a massive, billowing thick head. Strong lacing. Very unusual yeasty lemons flavors and nose. I can tell this beer’s really well made, it’s wonderfully smooth and full of unique flavors, and I’m pretty sure it tastes exactly like what the brewer wanted it to taste like. Unfortunately, I don’t much like this flavor. There are some of those funky farmhouse, barnyard flavors that I typically like, but something about this just rubs me a little bit the wrong way. Eh, maybe it’s just this time....interesting enough that I may try it again.
