Sep 19, 2008 From 12oz bottle - extremely lively, took a while to open to (partially) avoid a foamy mess (same thing happened with a 750 mL La Roja last month - huzzah for bottle refermentation). Pours an almost opaque cloudy orange-gold with a big, sticky, white head of foam. Aroma is malty, with citrus, apples, yeast, spice, and pretty light hops. Very fruity, sour flavor - apples, citrus, coriander, and pepper, over a malty, yeasty base. A bit of bitterness and hops in the finish, as well as noticeable alcohol. Very tasty, now if I could just find a bottle of Jolly Pumpkin that doesn’t explode...

Sep 14, 2008 Bottle shared by Crosling, thanks man. Poured a hazy golden-orange color with a moderate off-white head that slowly faded to a layer and left some decent lacing. Aroma of lightly tart yeast with some soft citrus fruit (clementine, tangerine) and some light spiciness. Lightly tart entry with some moderate citrus fruit (lemon, orange peel) leading into a funky yeastiness, finishing with some lightly spicy, floral hops. A bit of an odd flavor in the finish that I can’t put my finger on. Biting carbonation and tart character. It’s a decent beer, my only complaint is that everything from JP seems to have the same flavor profile with their funky yeast.

Sep 13, 2008 Bottle (Batch 292) Pours a nice cloudy golden with a pillowy white head. The aroma has dry yeasty character, lemon peel, white pepper, coriander, oak and mild spicy alcohol. Nice aroma. The palate is fluffy with a very peppery flavor. Dry yeast has an apparent presence along with lemon peel, mild oak and some alcohol. The finish is peppery and dry. The flavor gets a bit homogenous in it’s pepperyness, along with too much apparent alcohol, but it’s still solid.
