Pours a murky off yellow color with a huge bright white head. The lacing was almost perfect. The first thing that hits is the scent...where to start???? Citurs, bubblegum, flowers and some slight sourness. Excellent mouthfeel and a perfect touch on the palate. There was a good amount of spiciness and some peppery tones. This beer is quite interesting....looking forward to a few more Jolly Pumpkins.

Bottle. Pours cloudy yellow/copper. Bright white head that leaves decent sticky lacing. In the JP style, it’s got a very pretty nose: maple syrup, fresh cut grass, bubblegum, slightly floral and a bit of wild yeast and sour cherries. Rich and malty sweet, but balanced nicely by a good amount of spicy (white pepper) and dry hops. There’s also a nice tart kaffir lime component as well. Finishes spicy, zesty and dry.

One of the better Jolly Pumpkins I have tasted because its complex set of aromas and flavors blend together well, something I have not found in all Jolly Pumpkin beers. Average white and lasting head. Yellow, cloudy body. The nose displays notes of hay and straw; horse blanket and barnyard; sour apple and clove. The medium body is sticky in texture with average carbonation. Moderate to heavily sweet in flavor with a slightly sour finish. Dry. Very interesting and very good.

Hazy warm lemon yellow in color. Big and fluffy white head. Aroma is malty, slight citrussy with a refreshing caracter and some faint hints of wood and nice soft spices. Taste is soft malty with a fine sour accent of citrus, flowers, and some touches of stone fruits. Nice round body with a soft honeyed accent and a attractive touch of fruits and wood and spices in the finale. It ends with a soft bite of flowers and hops.

750mL bottle. Foam gusher. Slightly hazy yellow color. Good lacing. Not much retention. Aroma is fruity orange with sour brett and oak. Tastes much the same with some peppery spice. Tangy texture. Very good.

Bottle. Pours deep golden color with LOTS of ubbly white head. Aroma is very citrusy, with some yeast & funk and a little sourness. The citrus is also very prevalent in the taste, with some of the sourness, a little malt and some trace spiciness. Very drinkable. Perfect for a warm June day waiting for my daughter’s b-day party to start!
