Oct 29, 2009 Bottle from Olbutikken. The aroma has red berries, citrus, yeast, spice and wood. Hazy, dark red coloured beer with an off-white, medium, lasting head. The taste is a little sour, vinous, with the red berries, yeast and wood again. Very smooth, complex and well balanced. An absolutely fantastic brew!

Oct 25, 2009 22 oz’er. Dark, dark red with the signature massive head of Jolly Pumpkin. The aroma is awesome -- rich with ripe fruit. Drinks with a distinct sour aspect, not quite Flemish necessarily, but still enough to make you pucker ... kind of a nice compromise between a true sour and a spiced Belgian. Quite enjoyable.

Oct 23, 2009 Poured a hazy dark amber from the 750ml. bottle into a pint glass (batch 342): The aroma is straight Christmas, and enticing. Flavors of spices such as cinnamon (lots of), cardamom and coriander. Sour oak and funky, ripened citrus tart kicks in and through into the finish. I honestly bought this bottle for the kick ass label. Drinkability: Sour and sweet. Rebuy: Maybs. #155 on 23102009, DG.

Oct 21, 2009 Bomber. Pours a brown color with a good head. A funky aroma and taste that I have come to find all the JP beers posses. Spicy and fruity with those oak barrels shinning through.

Oct 11, 2009 Dark brown pour, bit head. Tart and funky aroma. Vinegar, earth, wood, funk and fruit. Flavor is sour but not overly. Lots of fruit and wood with some lively carbonation.

Oct 7, 2009 Bottle: Poured a brown color with a nice amount of head. The aroma was oak, sour, spice, and dark fruits. The flavor was dark fruits, spice, and the signature sour oak from JP. Overall, another quality brew from Jolly Pumpkin.

Sep 3, 2009 Pours a dark cloudy chestnut brown color with slight amber hues when held to a light source and a 1.5 finger foamy beige head. Good retention, slowly fading into a lasting ring, leaving minimal lacing.
Earthy vinous aroma with a very prominent tart oak presence. Spicy and peppery with a bit of cinnamon, corriander, cardamom, and a bit of a medicinal note. Lots of dark fruit notes as well.
Once again the flavor is dominated by the earthy funky tart vinous presence. Lots of spice and dark fruit notes, especially pepper, cinnamon, plum, raisin, dark cherries, raisin and fig. Nice malty backbone balances things out pretty well. Dry tart finish.
This is a very complex unique beer. Think christmas beer/ sour hybrid.

Aug 17, 2009 Dark brown with a super foamy head. The first sniff of the bottle is tart funk and some spice. Smelling the glass brings heavy funk with possibly chocolate hiding behind and cherries and a few fumes. The flavor is strong sour, some flavors like grapes, no noticeable alcohol, body is not thick and the finish isn’t dry like the fuego I had the other day. This is a good beer, especially if you like sours, but didn’t do the trick for me as other Jolly Pumpkin beers have.
