50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small off-white head. Citric and mild roasted malt aroma, vague note of brett. Dry wooden brett base flavoured with a mild toasted malt coming through. Smooth refreshing malty and mild brett finish. Another fine beer.

500mL bottle poured into a Melbourne Bros glass. It pours with a medium thick head that subsides slowly and never fully fades, just ends up covering the surface. The color is dark orange/amber, very thick with very little clarity. Aroma is full of brett, which is lightly lemony and very funky with Jolly Pumpkin signature all over it. The aroma is delightful. Taste losses a lot of these delightful brett notes. Its is a very nice fruity Belgian ale flavor with just a faint funk kick. With the yeastiness it ends with very dry and herbal floral brettiness. Its very light and fun to drink and calling this an APA is completely ludicrous. Its very easy drinking, light yet full of flavor. There is a dry floral flavor that sticks around for a while. There is a good amount of sprinkling of carbonation spikes on the cheeks, making it seem nicely fizzy for a light brew. Its very fun to drink.

Bottle. Pours the color of dark honey iwht a little bit of haziness and a big and fluffy head. Aromas are of funk and caramel. The funk is a kind of musty and stale barn smell, while the sweet hides under the surface in the nose and is of apples and caramel. Flavor is a mix of funk, sour, spice and malt. The sweetness seems to have disappeared (although I could swear it was there in the aromas) and the tartness and funk (apples and barnyard) take complete control of the palate. Like many of the HP offerings, the first couple of sips made me wonder what they were thinking and the last couple of swigs made me want more...

Bottle at the Gingerman, New York, 21-11-08 that Beastiefan purchased and shared with us, cheers mate. I wrote up my description in the lovely little notebook that Garthicus kindly gave me, it also had a lovely little torch pen that whilst tempermental for some worked fine for me now I will never had a problem finding my way home on a dark winters night all thanks to Garthicus and his pen torch, cheers mate. Pours hazy lemon in colour with an off white head. Really good wet wooly aroma, good solid crunch to this beer, big juicy Bramley apples, nice bite really tangy blooming marvellous, can Jolly Pumpkin do anything wrong A7 A4 F7 P4 OV17

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a clear yellow body and a fluffy white head that leaves good lacing and sticks around for a while. Aroma is spicey and vinous, with chardonnay like characteristics and a bit of apple. The taste has some enital Jolly Pumpkin tart funkiness, followed by apples and a continued vinous qualty. Slightly fizzy and dry to style.

Crisp hazy golden coloured body with a white head and nice bubbles rising from the bottom and sides. Aroma of curacao, coriander seed, lemons and a ton of wheat and malt - nice! Medium-bodied; Strong assertive wheatiness with yeast and coriander seed most prevalent. Aftertaste has some sweetness and the lemons/curacao also come out. Overall, a very nice wit - damn good for the style! I sampled this 750 mL bottle (looks more like the old Stoudt’s bottles - at 765 mL) purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 03-August-2008, sampled on 13-September-2008 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
