0.5 l bottle, thanks Timo A! Hazy amber brown color. Sweetish and acidic aroma with strawberry and grapefruit. The flavor is initially sweetish but gets soon oaky, tannic and dry. Tastes firmly of strawberry, grapefruit and red grape. I like Jolly Pumkin house character but this one is too oaky.

Bottle. Golden dark brown with a beige head. Aromas are spicy with woody pine. Toffee malts with grapefruit and floral notes. Some bubblegum and yeast. Flavours are hoppy pine with light lemon and grapefruit. Fruity with a burnt malt finish. Decent.

Bottle. Reddish brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is vinous, sour and spiced, and the flavour is bitter and sour. Overall a nice beer.

Tasted at a The LoSBD meeting, thanks to RAYBOY01: It poured a slightly hazed amber body with a fluffy beige head. The aroma had floral scents and a touch of Bretty funk (JP’s thing) over toffee, vanilla, and wood. The flavor added a citrusy tartness and bitterness that blended smoothly with an increased funk. The finish was dry and moderately bitter. A very nice brew, but I’m not sure what it has to do with the APA style as it’s categorized here.

hazy orange, nice off white head, some lace. nose floral and citrus hops. lots of oak barrel in the taste, touch of citrus hops, touch of floral hops. medium bodied, floral finish. ultimately, a touch too sweet for me. sampled at a LoSBD tasting. i think rayboy01 provided the sample.

Pours orange/amber pour with big rocky white head. Oaky head and some funk; maybe a bit too much tannic barrel/vanilla for me. Some hops as well. Quite good, but for me, it paled next to the superior Good Harbor Golden.

Pours a slightly hazy pale amber with a one finger offwhite head. The nose is tart and yeasty, oaky, tannic, mild vanilla. The flavor is tannic and oaky, nice vanilla, tart, yeasty, acidic. Tannic/acidic palate. Very tasty.
