On tap at Bottleworks. Pours murky amber with larger off-white head. Aroma is very floral, some spicy saison yeast, apples. Flavour has apples, some floral notes, and saison yeast. Nothing wrong with this, but the flavour combination isn't really working for me.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish orange gold with a finger of off-white fluffy foam that lingers. Barnyard and brett aromas with light lemon and oak aromas on the nose. More of the same on the palate with perhaps some pumpkin. Spice seems muted with real brett and oak notes that dominate. Not overly sour, acidic or vinegary. Just a nice funky fall ale!

Can. Pour a hazy gold with a slight yellow hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges slowly and laces. Aroma has pineapple and citrus with a bit of sweet grains and some light grass underlying. Flavor has a combination of pineapple and light dank citrus with some grass and light sweet grains backing.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy gold with a full two fingers of active, soapy head that lingers. Nice aromas of tropical fruit, pith and young pineapple. A bit of hopburn and more bitterness than expected on the palate. Drying finish with more pith, herbal and pineapple skin notes. Not bade.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a murky copper bronze with a full two fingers of fluffy white foam. Lovely raspberry aromas up front on the nose with some cereal malt notes as it warms. Oak, funk and more raspberry on the palate. Balanced finish with lower than usual acidity for JP. Nice stuff.
