Bottle from Maxbauer’s After Hours.
Pours a foggy yellow, like a lighthouse giving hope to seafarers from afar. Aroma is a blend of zesty lemon peel and lemon candy, with a touch of champagne (or is it sparkling wine). Flavor is a mouth-puckering blend of lemon, coriander, lemon, and lemon. Lively mouthfeel from a brew that simply won’t die on the tongue. A fantastic biere de garde; almost good enough to take my mind off my dog’s passing.
But there ain’t a beer in the world that can make me forget my Buster boy.

Oct 6, 2008 A Mes rate: bottle at Beer Exposed thanks to our Phil.
Nothing much like your regular BDG but this is a fine drop no doubt. Straw coloured with a thin but lasting Persil white head. Awesome tarty citrus just falls out of the glass and invites you in. This was the last good day of the summer and this beer really suited it. The JP influences are clear. Chewy damp wood notes deliver the excellent bitter hoppage really well. The spritzy and zesty finish is a real smack round the chops but it washes away beautifully to a lingering, delicately sweet malty after taste smoothing it out nicely. This is a very interesting beer and rather bloody lovely.

Pours pale golden with a small, frothy, white, film head. Aroma has lots of brett, some malts and citric acid. Fine, very dry mouthfeel. The flavour is lovely tart, citric, sticks to my teeth, some barnyard, malts and lemond. A touch of lactic acid and wood with a subdued caramel in the finish. Very delicious.

Sep 30, 2008 Thanks to RagallachMC for the 750. Straw color and mostly clear. Medium head. Aroma of citrus, wheat, sour white grapes and brett. A little oaky flavor sneaks in, but you know it’s Jolly Pumpkin brewed by the brett. This beer surprised the hell out of me. Such a non-descript bottle holding such a classy brew.
