| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 12, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a deep yellow almost orange with a thick foamy head. Massive carbonation as is typical of JP. Nose is very nutty, nutmeg, apple, yeast and hazelnut. Taste is slightly sour up front with a complex nutty middle and a snappy hoppy finish. Lingering sourness and caramel notes. Awesome as usual with JP. RSRIZZO (1369), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 8, 2009 Color is a hazy orange gold with very active carbonation and a tight, thick white head. Aroma is like a spicy apple cider. Taste is crisp and sour. Starting with light/medium body it goes down crisp with a clean feel. Finish comes on with a sour cider taste and a gentle caramel nutty flavor. After taste is a dry oak bitterness with a faint plastic taste in the back. Overall its ok, I’m just not a big fan of sours. This one has nice smooth flavors so for me its better then others I have had.
