The can features a "Quiet Man" looking fellow and the slogan, "A Road Less Traveled". The JP stands for James Page Brewing Company. They were one of the original craft brewers based out of the Twin Cities, beginning in 1986 and peaking with some regional popularity in the upper Midwest in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Alas, they went out of business, but the brand has been revived and is now contract brewed by Stevens Point, in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. This beer is 6.0% ABV and uses Fuggles, Hallertau and Goldings hops.
The beer pours reddish amber in color. There is over an inch
of thick and creamy foam that is very light tan in color. The aroma is toasted
and roasted malt, bit of caramel, overly ripe oranges, and a touch of pine. The
taste follows the aromas quite directly with a stinging bitterness. It is well
carbonated and medium bodied. Overall, not good.
