Bottle. 22.5 oz. Pours hazy golden with a thick, white head. Aroma of hay, wheat, citrus, and malts. Clean mouthfeel. Medium body with a tangy, crisp finish. Excellent Belgian ale.

750 ml bottle. A hazy medium golden beer with a really huge, frothy, creamy, fully lasting white head. the aroma is nice, though not extremely powerful, some malt, some grassy and flowery hops and notes of citric fruits (especially lemon) spices, light oak and vanilla. The flavour is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. In the mouth the oak notes are more evident as well as a certain vinous character. Medium body, lively to fizzy carbonation, dry long finish with medium bitterness. Certainly a harmonius beer with balance between the oak, the spices, the acidity and the winey notes.

16/10/2009. Batch Batch 369. I am not worthy, really I’m not... this beer makes me wonder what the hell I’m doing brewing "drinkable" hoppy ales and Belgian table beer. Imagine Duvel aged in oak barrels - you’re not even close! Anyone who gives this less than 4 should be taken out the back... you don’t want to know what they do to the people out back!

This was a cloudy, yellow beer with a small covering of white bubbles on top. The taste is spicy, fruity, and has lots of carbonation.It was also slightly acidic, and reminds me a bit of champagne. The taste also had a slight bit of sour but not much.This was my second Jolly Pumpkin beer and I enjoyed it. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 05-29-2007 15:37:26

Bottle, 75cl, #275. A real mega-gusher where the centiliters ending up in the glass is hazy, yellow-orange in color, and topped by a big, white head leaving lacings. Pale malts, wheat-notes and some spices nicely mixed with a funky, citrusy dominating aroma. The flavor is citrusy and funky, spiced and slightly peppery. A bit sour on the palate, dry and effervescent. Long, citrus-bitter finish. Beautiful! 090720
