A sustaining beer that is brewed to comfort in the gusty ides of March and welcome in a wealth of warmer weather.

Blend 2; bottled 2/24/10; notes from 4/25/11
A - A bit of a foamer on opening. Pours copper with two fingers of head that dissipate quickly and fade to a collar.
S - Nice lemony tartness, along with a subtle earthy funk. I am a bit surprised by the subtlety of the aroma, but what is there is very nice.
T - Wonderful lemon tart pucker on the first taste. Earthy on the finish. Leaves a lingering bitterness composed of both earthiness and lemon zest. Actually quite refreshing. This might be my favorite from Jolly Pumpkin.
M - Light/medium mouthfeel is nice and crisp with pleasant carbonation.
O - Definitely a winner from JP. I would love to try the Grand Reserve.

750 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. "French Style Stock Ale - Ale Aged in Oak Barrels". ABV is 7%. Hazy amber to brownish colour, large off-white head. Strong aroma of farmhouse. horse blanket, lemons, oak and apple cider vinegar. Medium sour flavour with lemony and oaky notes, fairly distinct and peppery hops in the finish. "Beware the ides of March!"
