Michael Jackson Rare Beer Club selection. Murky yellow, a sunshiney lightbulb hidden somewhere in that liquid. Fluffy and airy white head. Mellow aromas, no real face-smacking "funk" here for me. Lemony flavors, with some spicy pepper thrown in. A good one for a muggy August night.

Dec 25, 2009 bottle from tiffany’s in Kalamazoo. aroma is gently tart, sour apples, a touch of barnyard, no real clove/banana hefe notes to speak of. it’s a bit clear as well, though I opened the bottle a bit cold which may have caused the yeast to flocculate. taste is soft and tart, more sour apple. a nice full mouthfeel. Vry well done.

Dec 24, 2009 Pretty good. Pours light yellow with a large head. Has the typical JP sourness. Not bad.

Dec 13, 2009 750 ml bottle - batch 411/412; thanks to grownfool for the trade; pours straw gold, clear with foamy white head fading quickly; definite tarty funk on the nose with some lemons, sour apple, pears and sweet grains; fizzy mouth feel with light texture; lemons, cloves, light spice; quite dry with tangy light fruit; JP is never boring and it isn’t a quite homerun, but tasty and interesting

Dec 1, 2009 Pours pale gold into a tulip. Bright white fluffy head with good retention recedes leaving spotty spiders. Orange, pear and apple funk aromas. Crisp sour apple upfront flattening out into a lasting marshmallow wheat finish. I’m not getting any hefe...

Nov 27, 2009 Pours a deep straw color with a large foamy white head. Lemon, wheat, yarn, canned pineapple, hints of oak, and little spice. Faint bit of sourness. Mouthfeel is extremely lively and somewhat acidic. Medium length finish. Very enjoyable. I was expecting something funkier and also, this missing that rubber element I like in hefes. Despite all of that this is still delicious.

Nov 25, 2009 Nice brett aroma. Taste is tart and apple. Yeast is driving everything here. Wheat hidden under much of the yeast and I like that. Some Chardonay lingers.

Nov 9, 2009 Bottle from Perry’s @ Livermore. I really like this one. Right off the bat there’s some brett funkiness in the nose and aroma. Nose is said brett, and must. Pours a cloudy light straw yellow with lots of head. Flavor is a nice refreshing sour and clean experience, with notes of brett, grass, lemon, and wheat. Finishes clean, and dry.

Nov 9, 2009 750ml Bottle: Aroma of wheat, lemon, light grass, light clove, and hints of Brett and funk. Poured yellow/flaxen in color with a medium-sized, rocky, off-white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Cloudy. Very sparkling. Flavor is light to medium tart. Tastes of citrus, wheat, tart fruit, light Brett, yeast, slight banana, slight funk, and some spices. Medium body. Tingly texture. Lively carbonation. Funk, wheat, and Brett finish is ever so slightly dry. Not really a Hefeweizen, but still nice.
