Jun 10, 2009 Bottle from Bleeng at the Houston sour tasting. Thanks, man! Pours a thin, cloudy cheddar orange with a malty corn pepper (not peppercorn) nose. Flavor is melon bread with a peppery finish. Tingly mouthfeel. Not bad.

Apr 11, 2009 Pours cloudy golden with white head. Aroma is sour, apples. Taste is tart and apple cider-like, citrus/lemon, pepper/spice. Finish is dry with moderate hops. Good amount of Co2. Pretty good, crisp, but I was expecting more funkiness.

Mar 29, 2009 Sampled at the Houston RB funk/geuze/lambic tasting. Nose is grassy, funky, very aromatic. Bright, clear, yellow, fizzy color. Taste is peppery, funky, earthy, very light body. Unfortunately my taste buds were blown by the time we got to this one.

Mar 5, 2009 Nice hazy golden coloured body with a super dense tan head and a ton of small bubbles rising from the bottom - c’est magnifique! Aroma of grass, hay, curacao, wheat, light hops, honey and even some chamomile flowers. Medium-bodied; Strong sweetness up front fading to a nice maltiness and a good biere de garde flavour overall. Aftertaste shows honey and curacao with hops and some light tea flavours coming out. Overall, a damn good beer - definitely woth trying if you can still get it. Packs quite a punch and nothing in this one is offensive at all. I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Vienna, Virginia on 12 January 2007.

Feb 3, 2009 This beer used to be aliased to Le Merle; however, they are different beers. Le Merle is at 7.9% ABV, this one at 7.3%. Further I was at the brewery last week and asked them explicitly if these are two distinct beers w/ two distinct recipes. The folks at North Coast said that Le Merle and Silver Jubilee were completely separate beers.
Now onto the review. The bottle pours a hazy golden color with a frothy white head. Just as the description indicates, there is a lot of tropical fruit aroma in the nose, and for that matter, in the flavor too. it has a nice crisp finish. To me, it was sort of like a saison with witbier crispness and finished. I liked it.
