Bottle. Body-dark yellow, orange with a thin ring of bubbles and a thin film of bubbles. Nose-squash, medium hops, straw. Taste-thin, some straw, hop aroma, too thin and boring.

500ml bottle courtesy of fiver29 – thanks John! Pours a cloudy carbonated amber with a 2 finger chunky off-white head that floats through the entire glass. The nose is sour fruit, yeast and light funk. Taste is earth, sour funk, malt and tart citrus with a dry woody finish. Medium prickly mouth feel. This is one crazy beer. Not what I expected but should have known anything from JP is going to be funky. APA with some barnyard! Thanks again John!

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small off-white head. Citric and mild roasted malt aroma, vague note of brett. Dry wooden brett base flavoured with a mild toasted malt coming through. Smooth refreshing malty and mild brett finish. Another fine beer.

Bottle, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing. Pours a murky brownish-amber, with a small, off-white head. Aroma is sharp and slightly sour, of malt, hops, caramel, yeast. Taste is sharp and sour, of malt, yeast, hops. Lingering funky sourness. Pretty tasty.
