Bottle 318/319 shared with the guys at the Inglorious Emergency Tasting. Pours a near clear light golden straw with good white head. Nose is barnyard and socks. Flavor is white pepper, lemony, good sour. Balance. Great large carboantion is like champagne and cuts the acidity perfectly. Good beer.

6/7/2009......Cloudy golden with orange tinges...creamy fluffy white head ((there was a ton of it in the bottle, i didn’t think it was going to stop))...spices and orange in the nose...clove and coriander--a nice mix ....delicate malts also......a rush of orange in the 1st sip, light yet a nice backbone....extremely refreshing..its zingy and goes well with "enjoying the day ladies".....a touch of sediment in the base of my glass....Flemish-esque---thanks for the share Kawabomber :)

Pours a pale hazy yellow with soft orange highlights. Billowy sticky white head. The nose is tart and yeasty, notes of lemongrass and oak, mildly spicy, fruity, estery. Flavor is tart and spicy, citrus rind character, oaky bite, mild yeasty funk. Palate shows a citrus rind bite with a yeasty tartness and spicy oak character. JP kicks ass

Golden bodied wit with citrus, coriander and a bit too much coriander for my palate. Light, refreshing, definitely a lawnmower beer.

this beer had the common denominator-tart funkiness-that i’ve come to expect from a JP brew, but that’s where the accolades end. this was actually my first disappointment from them, a thoroughly one dimensional beer. all funky tart, and virtually no wit character to speak of. it may as well have been an artisan lager...none of the 3 of us tasting could have told it was supposed to be a wit had the label not said. not a bad beer in any way, but i’m surprised it’s rated so high within the style. maybe there is consistency issues, but the one we drank had a barely detectable (only when the thin sediment was poured) coriander/orange peel flavor, and none in the aroma.

Bottle, pours cloudy dark gold with a thick, firm off-white head. Aroma of orange peel, lemons, spice. Light body and powerful carbonation. There’s a little bread, lemon and funk in the taste, but it’s mostly orange peel and coriander. Dry, spicy and somewhat floral finish.

On tap at Sugar Maple. Golden yellow with a moderate sized white head that fades away quickly. Aroma of yeast, toasted malt, mild fruit peel and mild sourness with a dash of citrus for good measure. Taste pretty much follows the aroma, probably the least sour or barrel-esque of the beers I’ve had from the jubilant squash. Light and went down easy but otherwise just okay.
