Mar 22, 2008 Poured from the bottle and a thin whispy white head over a murky amber red. Sour and tart fruit with not an overpowering presence. Good feel in your mouth and fairly good longevity. Mellow oakiness. Good ale.

Mar 22, 2008 I enjoyed this one a lot. This is my first Jolly Pumpkin brew and I was a little apprehensive but not any more.
Murky brown pour with a very impressive head, this ale smells of sour fruit, some malt, and something sort of funky which I like.
Nice and sour on the finish, this is very drinkable and a big surprise. I liked this a lot and drank every bit of it.
Great!

Mar 15, 2008 Bottle, old label. Brown-orange pour. Aroma is light funk, leather, and light roasted malt. Flavor is a bland beer with some tartness on top, some oak. Just not very good.

Mar 14, 2008 Bottle from South Bay Drugs. The aroma of this ale is so strong and noticeable it’s as almost if the bottle spilt all over my floor. It has such a bold presence of oak that it would be an understatement to say that oak was the main characteristic of the aroma which I just did. The flavor has upfront tart and slightly sour Belgian spiced yeast taste and of course it has been metamorphosed by the oak barrel time capsule it endured. A big, bold and unique beer from Jolly Pumpkin that I really spent a good deal of time studying and reflecting on.

Mar 14, 2008 Bottle, 750, fairly old. Gusher, pours a darker amber with big head. Aroma is lightly caramel, with berry like smells, maybe a little wood and dust, and a little funk. Flavor is moderately acidic, a combination of undefined berry and woody earthiness with a light spice to it. Tartness carries through the finish which is short. Pretty fizzy on the palate. Interesting stuff and quite good.

Mar 8, 2008 Pours dark amber with foamy slightly offwhite head that slowly fades. Aroma is sour cherry and vinegar. Taste starts off kinda sweet and finishes with a slightly sour kick. Very enjoyable but not something I could drink alot of.
