May 3, 2009 Bottle from Knightly Spirits. Batch #349. This bottle was a gusher and I couldn’t get it to stop for quite a while. This poured a typically massive head that is commonplace for JP brews and a murky brown color. The nose is sour yeast and dough. Flavors are coppery, full of sour Brett, and include subtle spices like cinnamon, apples, and evergreen. Quite malty with a bit of vinegar character. Lively carbonation and medium body. Good beer.

Apr 30, 2009 Cloudy copper-brown with immensely thick puffy head. Sour, spicy, fruity, citrus scent. Tart, nicely bitter flavor with a great deal of spice and citrus, especially at the end. The cinnamon and cocoa are definitely there if you look for them. Quite nice.

Apr 28, 2009 Pours a hazy brown with a thick white, pillowy head that sticks around for awhile. Aroma is vinegary, sweet, and fruity. I smell stawberry, plum, and orange. Drinks very smooth, with a full mouth feel of the various fruits, with a nice sour finish. An excellent beer. This is my first of the Jolly Pumpkin beers (embarassingly), but I look forward to trying the rest of their aresenal. This is a very special brewing co.

Mar 27, 2009 Mahogany in colour with a very large beige head, excellent retention and lacing. The aroma is of apples, caramel sweetness, some yeast, light alcohol, some sourness, light spice. The flavour is quite smooth, there is more chocolate coming through now because I didn’t get much in the aroma, light sourness funk, pepper and citrus. Yeasty mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes long, yeasty with some citrus and chocolate.
