May 1, 2009 Pours a mahogany color with an off-white head. Aroma is of spices, slight hop character, and some barnyard aromas. Pretty interesting flavors. Starts off with the spices and hops and finishes with the wild flavors. Slightly bitter finish.

Apr 28, 2009 Batch 374/375. This amber ale poured with a frothy beige head that started subsiding right away, but didn’t disappear altogether. Smells like treacle, tastes like a bitter, by golly it is a bitter. It’s not a mild bitter but, rather, has a funky harsh feel to it.

Apr 28, 2009 Suffered thru this with Drbayern, Celticbrew, Uncles Tome and Steve, New Beer Pimp Brian and newby Dancin’ Paul. I’ve got to tell you, I poured this one out on a fire ant hill and killed the buggers! The aroma was a funky farmhouse aroma which in and of itself was not bad. It even looked alroght in the glass, not much head. But the last place it belongs is in my mouth!

Apr 25, 2009 Dark clear copper amber. Frothy persistent khaki head. Moderately wild aroma - signature JP; apple orchard, clove, dried out wood. Very creamy texture at first. Light drinking for JP I think. Initial impression is JP funk, granny smith, wood chips. Without being the focal point, the hopping works really well to dry out the beer and give it some body. I don’t remember any other JP beer as hoppy (not to say this is hoppy per se, only relative to the rest of JP’s lineup). So if you’re in the mood for a low abv funky JP beer that you can just drink without having to think too hard, this fits the bill nicely. Well done.

Apr 25, 2009 Batch 288/299 about a year old. Pours a murky golden amber with a big frothy rocky off-white head 3.5. Very strong funky brett and barnyard aroma, lighter sweet caramel, hint of citrus... just a lot of funk. Flavor is all brett and other funk, lightly tart and lemony, apple. Crisp medium/light bodied with nice sharp carbonation.

Apr 17, 2009 Bottle shared with TomThompson & Camerons crew, post Beer Wars. Brownish amber pour. Aroma is JP funk with some hops. Taste is JP sour, tart, funkiness with hop bitterness towards the finish. Good but not my favorite JP offering

Apr 16, 2009 Bottle. This smells and tastes like a Jolly Pumpkin barrel and has a watery palate. That’s all it did for me.

Apr 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours brown with a thick light tan head. Aroma of sweet tart candies, light funkiness (barnyard funk). Flavor is sour, but not as sour as the aroma would suggest. Finish is dry and bitter. I’m a little disappointed given that this was supposed to be a hoppy farmhouse ale (or biter????), but overall I enjoyed the beer.
