Draft from btiger. Pours a light cloudy amber with a smallish white head. Aroma is sour cherries and light cinnamon. Highky carbonated with some cinnamon and pumpkin - pretty much what you’d expect a jolly pumpkin pumpkin to be like.

This is the second straight bottle of Jolly Pumpkin that I’ve gotten from Whole Foods - Bowery in a month that is a NASTY VINEGARY MESS.

Aroma was stank, beer used to be good but is now stanker. I don’t know what they did to their jolly pumpkins, but they killed them.
