Nov 1, 2009 courtesy of Frampin.
Batch 130/131.
Pours amber/orange cloudy, thin off-white head.
Aroma of wood, sour, some spices, light yeasty nose.
Flavor, lots of good barrel, wood/ oak and sourness. Hints of hops and spices, some wine like/cherry vinegar.
Overall palate has a strong sour finish, still easy to drink and very enjoyable. Definitely the JP signature.

Oct 25, 2009 12oz. bottle, labeled oak aged 21 months, batch 130/131, with a huge thanks to StFun! Pours a hazy amber with a moderate off-white head that hangs around for a bit. Aroma is oak, sour grape skins, tart cherries, some light dust and must. Flavor is fairly light and gentle, with more sour grape skins, oak, tart cherry, and a little dried dark fruits and mustiness. A lighter mouthfeel with a dry finish; nicely nuanced. Good stuff, thanks again Josh!

Sep 9, 2009 (Bottle, batch 130/131) Pours amber. Pale, sand coloured head. The aroma is oaky up front with buttery vanilla, fudge, dill, sawdust and coconut milk. There are also clear tones of tannins, orangey citrus, coriander, barnyard/horse blanket/basement, medicine/penicillin, menthol, leather and earthy tobacco. Undertones of raisins, cheese, overripe apples/cherries, phenols, old flowers, woody apricot and pineapple. The nose is a bit too sweaty, medical, and mouldy for my liking. The flavour is light sweet, light bitter and light to medium acidic. Tones of woody oak, horse blanket/barnyard, medicine, blood oranges, raspberries, light peppery spices, some esters and earthy tobacco. Some hints of phenols and tannins in the finish. The mouthfeel is musty and tart with a light carbonation. Medium bodied. I love JP but this was not one of my favourites.

Aug 26, 2009 Dry and oaky aroma, pours a beautiful effervescent gold with orange hue and superb head. Grapefruity flavor but neither aggressively tart or bitter; dry hop finish. Very white wine-esque.

Jul 24, 2009 Bottle. Rating #500. Pours cloudy amber coloured with a big foamy off white head. Aromas of pepper, oak, balsamic vinegar, vanilla, lemon peel and caramel. Flavours of yeast, wood, spice, semi tart, caramel and balsamic vinegar. Delicious brew.

Jul 18, 2009 Pours amber and cloudy with no lasting head. Smell is tart, sour and vinegary. Taste is slightly bourbony, slightly tart and sour. Vinegary but watery. Interesting beer, but not something I’d go for again.
Svesse (2596), Hässelby, Sweden
Jul 1, 2009 (Bottle, batch 130/131, oak aged for 21 months, purchased at Ölbutikken, Copenhagen) Hazy amber colour with brief, frothy, beige head. Acidic, sour and tart nose with notes of oak wood, vinegar, dried peaches and hints of citrussy hops coming through after a while. Sour, fruity, acidic taste with citrus (grapefruit, lemon), orange peel, balsamic vinegar, oak wood, spicy coriander hints and citrussy hops coming through in the finish. Dominated by oak wood and acidity leading into Rodenbach territory, but with citrus and hops balancing it quite nicely. Rather extreme and complex beer with surprisingly good balance. Lovely stuff!
