Jul 28, 2009 This poured a murky brown color with an off white head. Aroma was tart, vineous, and a bir fruity as well. Flavor was sour, funk, light citrus fruit and some roastiness as well. It was hard ot wrap my head around this one.

Jul 28, 2009 Had this on tap at the MIchigan brew fest. I really do like JP ales, and this one was amazing. Poured quite dark, but was very sour/fruity. I really like the fact that they brew beer that is completely different from any other "standard" styles. They really do take artisan brewing to the next level. Cheers!

Jul 28, 2009 On tap at the MBG Summer Festival. Poured brown, mind of looked like maple syrup. There was minimal head. Aroma was sour with distinct grape and sour fruit notes. Flavor was tart and sour with fruit and dark undertones. Another good one from JP.

Jul 25, 2009 I had this on tap at MBGSF 09. Another epic one from Jolly Pumpkin. It poured a very dark brown color with really not too much of a white head. Aroma was of course oaky and quite sour, but also a little fruity. Taste was really great. It was tart (a friend described it as pickle juice) and very strong. It reminded me of balsamic vinegar but also fruity in a way. It’s hard to put a finger on it...overall a very great beverage.

Jul 15, 2009 Bottle in Portland... Thanks Chris. Pours a dark brown with a hint of an off-white head. Smells sour and a oaky. Sour and quite tart. Aromas of sour apples and oak. Quite fresh. Medium to heavy bodied. Very low carbonation. Sour finish with some berry aromas. Good.

Jul 1, 2009 On draft at Beer Engine Sour Ale tasting. Pours a dark brown/black with ruby tinges on the side. No head. Nose: cognac as is the flavor with that white grape/almost smokey aftertaste. Flat, slightly tart and crisp. Yum. The tartness is really present in the corners of the mouth which inspires you to keep sipping away.

Jun 29, 2009 On tap at the Buckeye Beer Engine during their sour ale tasting. Easily my favorite of the night. From what I remember, poured a dark red color (like a more transparent wine). Scent was unmemorable, but the taste was incredible. Very complex, with none of the overt-bitterness that turns me off of some sours.

Jun 22, 2009 I believe this was #4. On draft at buckeye beer engine. Aroma had a lot of funk and sour to it but was very complex. Maybe a little smoke and roast to it. Also some fruit notes to it.
