Smells great in the glass, clear but odd brown color. I was initially disappointed at first taste as the flavor wasn’t much different than La Roja. However, I poured another glass a few days later at a warmer temp and was greeted with a much more complex flavor, especially the oaky notes. Definitely NOT a beer to be drunk by the pint. Good, but definitely not my favorite of Jolly Pumpkin’s offerings.

Dec 6, 2009 (bottle shared by MatSciGuy) Pours a solid amber with a medium off-white head that doesn’t last. The aroma is very strong, with a lot of oak, apple skin, apple cinnamon muffins, and some dust. The flavor isn’t nearly as strong or tart as the aroma had led me to believe, with some subdued flavors of apple cider, caramel, that ends with a pleasant oaky finish. Mouthfeel is medium with fairly lively carbonation. Pretty good right now, but I could see it getting better with some age.

Nov 10, 2009 Bottle. Aroma is mildly funky with strong fruit tones. Amber with a medium head. Flavor is simple, very much subdued barnyard character. Fairly thick and engulfing palate. This lacks the depth expected from JP, but is nonetheless highly enjoyable.
