From bottle to tulip. Spice. lemon, and sweet grain bread. Slight tart funk is very nice. Hazy dusted gold with a full white head that leaves moderate lacing down the side. Flavor is moderate low spice with candi sugar and cracker malt. Slightly bacterial with solid yeast accents. All-around goodness.

750ml bottle. Cloudy, yellowish golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity, floral, spicy, yeasty aroma, notes of Hubba Bubba bubblegum. Taste is moderately tart, fruity, biscuit malty basis with a touch of sugar powder, marzipan, some lemon, lemon zest, dry hints of oak, a peppery spicy yeasty touch; lasting dry and tart finish.

750mL bottle, Batch 531/550 bottled on 05-26-2010. Aroma has a very large tropical fruit character from the Brett with a light cherry character. Medium light barnyard funk. Moderate phenolic spice with a light pepper note and light coriander. Faint oak note. Pours a pale, yellow straw color that is fairly cloudy with a big pillowy white head that has fairly good retention. Medium high lacing and small legs. Flavor has a medium light tartness with a moderate phenolic note that has a slight plastic character to it. Moderate fruit notes, mostly tropical fruit but also some sliht cherry and moderate citrus. Medium light bitterness. Lots of pepper spice as well as coriander. Light oak notes and tannins. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Light astringency and medium light alcohol warmth. Overall a very enjoyable beer but the slight plastic note in the flavor is not as enjoyable add the rest of the beer. Age hadn’t hurt this beer at all and if anything has helped as the Brett character is fairly pronounced. As it warms the plastic is almost unnoticeable. Pretty nice beer.

0.75l bottle from #762 shared with Inbreak and ClubGonzo. Pours a clear heather-honey-golden like colored body to begin with, but down the bottle with a heavy lacing white little sidesticking head. Oh, yeah, the aroma is filled grapy-citrus and that always-Jolly mild sour aroma that we all know so good. Smells almost like the sun! Also subtle sweet honey and smoke hints. Smells really nice! It's subtle carbonated and it has a thin oily texture in the mouth. Flavors are also so typically Jolly; subtle but still really citrus sour with a grassy and soft yeasty tone all the way. Light and subtle alcohol hints towards the finish. Oh, yeah! This is tasty! Tastes like summer! 21.06.2012

750 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy straw color with massive head of big bubbles and lots of carbonation. Aromas of green wood, lemons and toasted malts. Flavors are similar with emphasis sour. Maybe a little white pepper. Nice.

750 ml bottle from Winooski Beverage Warehouse. Sticker reads Batch 1023 Bottled on 05/22/2012. Hazy gold with a thin ring of white head around the snifter. Nose is mostly sour oak with some Belgian yeast, hints of barnyard. Flavor start with tons of tropical fruit with funky mango. Belgian yeast is the main body with funky oak notes in the backend. Light tart pucker in the back of the taste buds. The aroma leads you to believe that you are about to drink an unreal funky farmhouse brew. Well, the flavor is good just not as pronounced as the aroma. Classic offering from Jolly Pumpkin and really a nice New Year’s Day sipper.
