| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 17, 2009 On Tap. Pous a deep brown amber color with little to no head. The aroma is of malty nuts and caraml, and yeast back bone. The flavoris nice, full, and sweet. There is less body and palate than I expected, but it was an enjoyable tasting, and somewhat coplex flavor.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 1, 2010 Pours an orangey red brown with minimal head. Aromas of vinegar, red fruits, yeast, brown sugar, and coriander. Palate is lively but taste fades quickly, offering spicy hops, resin, caramel and dark cherry. Interesting example of a saison, as expected from Jolly Pumpkin. JoeTheYounger (302), California, USA

The aroma is cleanly sour, just the quality I expect from JP. Creamy palate with slightly roasty flavors. A nice level of funk is present along with mildly spiced notes. This is a supremely sessionable ale with more than enough complexity. Welcome to TN, jolly pumpkin! Bov (5514), Bienne, Switzerland
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 24, 2009 from crackedkettle.com - pours a hazy dark brown colour under a very foamy beige head; nice lacing; aroma of bretts, berries and cream with notes of tea; gently sour and with a moderate malt body, quite dry and short slightly sourish fruity and vinegar-like finish - subtle and interesting Slayer85 (594), Firenze, Italy
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 23, 2009 750 ml bottle. A hazy dark brown beer with a big, lacing, creamy and mostly lasting beige head. Unusual and rather powerful aroma, moderately yeasty, lightly malty and hoppy with notes of barnyard, toasted malts, citric fruits, spices and a hint of wood. The flavour is lightly to moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Really odd and funky. Light to medium body, lively to fizzy carbonation, quite long finish with light to medium bitterness. A bit watery and maybe I’m overrating this beer, but it’s incredibly tasty for its light ABV. An amazing brewery. merlin48 (522), New Tazewell, Tennessee, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Bottle pours a clear dark mahogany body topped by a large beige head. Excellent retention and abundant patch and curtain lace. Bold aroma is almost perfumey. Herbal, floral, grassy, and spicy, with notes of lemon and green apple, funk, and mint. Palate is a bit thin, but the carbonation is pleasantly effervescent. Taste is dry and herbal. Coriander and white pepper, some yeastiness, funk, lemon and kiwi tart fruitiness, and just a note of cola to suggest any darker malts. On a par with Jolly Pumpkin’s better funky ales.
