750 ml bottle: Pours amber with a very large frothy head. Heavy aroma of tarts. Sour and tart flavor. Very good.

750ml bottle. Poured a cloudy copper brown in color with a beige head that left little lacing on the glass. Aroma of toffee, caramel, with some spice and solid notes of brett. Tastes of light lemon citrus, spices with the sweeter malty base but as it warms the brett notes come out strong and make this very enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours a murky copper color, topped with a moderate sized off-white head. Aroma of wild yeast, soap, oak, malt and spice. Flavor is very enticing, with spice and malt nicely complimented by wild yeast, wood, and floral notes. Nice beer.

batch 256, dark brownish pour with a thick creamy head. Nice caramel/malty aroma flavour is nice, and solid, very well balnced, lots of caramel, and toffee notes with a touch of yeast. A good yeasty funk finish, interesting take ont he style.

25.4 oz bottle, batch 256. Dark reddish brown with a lacy balsa head. Nose is light lemon funk, chamomile and clover with a trace of honey. Subtle and evocative. Juicy with a soft tang. Pretty sour at first. Not what i’d expect from a Bière de Garde but i guess this is the Pumpkin twist. A few sips in the tartness smooths out revealing some cherry, almond, cinnamon and toffee.

Bottle (batch #256), thanks sersdf. Chestnut color with a whipped egg-white-like head. Smells slightly flemish - oak, funk, spices (clove, cardamom), apple pie, hay, cheesey. Pithy flavor with more funkiness. Tartness left on the lips. Tonic water aftertaste and light bodied. Not my favorite JP, but it has it’s merits.
