Pour looks like lemonade with a foamy quite white head. Nose is somewhat medicinal with a metallic tart olfactory. First taste is very tart up front then some bitter plastic saison thing starts to happen. Covers the alky content well. Some peppery aspects in the middle. Interesting off citrus notes. Sourness really makes it engrossing. Yes near the end of the session I find it gripping, compelling and compulsive. The finish comes too soon and this brew becomes captivating, engaging, enthralling & entrancing. Lots of milkshake crappy yeast dregs on the bottom of the can. This stuff evolved from mediocre tart to something darn good!
gave a cheers!

3$ can from vintage. This stuff pours like root beer. Interesting fine bubble tan head fades quickly to pond scum. Nose is mouth watering tart, like an fine open vat wild brew. Oh my, the first taste is so satisfying, much better than expected. Such a fine lovely beauty, great texture and an almost puckering flavor. No nonsense here, just good old fun wild beer flavor. Approaches some of the finer gueze lambics I've done and its much less expensive. Now I'm looking at the label; over 7% ? NO WAY! Hides the alky very well. I'm liking this, should have got a sixpack! Near the end, I'm getting just a tad bitterness, that may be coming from the oak, not sure but overall this was a treat fer sure! Great job there JP! Right up there with the better flemish and unflavored lambics baby! Yummy beer rating session!

Pour into my bergenbier glass is Slight has on pale. Nice foamy white head. Nose is somewhat like other farmouse brews I've sampled; mildly farmy with maybe a tad of grapefruit. First taste is better than other farmhouse saisons, its quite tart with hints of grapefruit. I must say, I've had good experiences when it comes to tart saisons from Jolly, and this is no exception. Quite enjoyable with good tartness, very little rude bitterness and a level of carbonation that makes this quite refreshing. You'd never know this was above 5%! About the same like ability as Jolly Bam & I O, Whiner Bleu Tub and Goose Island Halia.

Picked up at this awesome bottle shop in Houston, hopefully the search will auto fill. Born on: 1/10/24. Had the reserve before but never the OG.
Pint glass at home after a few months sleeping in the fridge.
Somewhat opaque, maybe just a little protein haze. Pours like iced yea, lingering foam. Definitely hazy on the second pour.
Nose is all oak, macerated cherries, apricots, lemon, sticky dried up malt.
Tart soaked cherries & really astringent wood pith. Black tea tannins, a little lemon, bourbon, strangely savory dark malt, just a twinge of pleasant oxidation.
Sizzling, nicely tart but otherwise dry, lingering dry mouth.
Tasty.

12 oz. can, while camping. Pours a clear, straw color, with a big, foamy, white head. The nose is lemongrass, grains of paradise, light pine, and rosemary oils. Sweet and phenoic, with a faint, earthy bitterness. Lightly funky and sour. Pretty nice.

2025 can from Livonia Liquor. Pours an unclear red plum purple with a small bit of pink colored head that dissipates. Nice lacing on the glass. Aromas of raspberry and blackberry skin and fruit with some light vinegar and oak aromas as it warms. Palate is similar with lots of raspberry fruit, skin and seed flavors. Finish is dry and tart.

500 mL bottle, 2020 vintage, poured. Clean golden appearance. Patchy head that lasts. Dry flavor throughout, soft spice. Gentle tart, white wine notes, subtle oak. Easy drinking. Very nice cellar pull.
