Additional notes from 07/06/25 on April 2025 Batch #3 version at 6.6% and pictured below. Lovely golden color on the pour with a little, light haze. Clean, cider-like nse with some simple, grainy apple notes. Definitely some light, white grape in...
Brewed May 18th 2016. Barrel-aged Saison, bottle-conditioned. Bottled on 7th, August 2017, Best Before 7th August 2019. Well, it is what it is. Brewed in 2016, this is likely a minimum of three, maybe more, years past its best. That didn't stop me...
Batch #2, brewed Jan 2021. Purchased at Little Five Bottle Shop, Athens, GA in November 2021. Pour is aggressively carbonated, but after the initial pour, the carbonation is less annoying and settles into a lovely, highly carbonated beer that...
Chestnut brown pour with a better than anticipated head on the aggressive pour. JesterKing classes this a 'Barrel Aged Sour Red'. Unfiltered, unpasteurized and aged on oak barrels. Some mid-level ethanoic acid on the nose amongst some organic wafts...
Big thanks go out to Lee for providing me with the original bottle of this back in 2012. That bottle was cracked open on vacation in Hilton Head, SC in summer of 2012, the height of relaxation for me these days. Thee notes are a combination of two...
OK, an 'Oaked, Farmhouse Mild Ale'? Hmmm, I dunno. Unfiltered, unpasteurized and bottle-conditioned, 750 mL in the usual Jester King presentation. The label also refers to something that they call 'English pub ale'. Needless to say, that worries me...
Another very interesting experimental beer from Jester King. Bottle conditioned with Juniper and sweet gale. In a nutshell this drinks like a smoked shandy - sound odd? Well, good, because it is. Pour offers a hugely carbonated start with a...
What's the deal with the (apparently) blacked out word between Farmhouse and Ale?? Pour gives an enormous, fluffy head with some good retention and some nice lace. The nose gives some quite hot alcohol and a large peppery element - so far, so good....
I have to admit, I am not really predisposed to liking this beer. I'm not a big fan of anything barrel-aged at the best of times, but coupled with a Wild Ale style, I feel you are mixing genres to an extent that is unlikely to work and is somehow...
For the second time in just about as many days, I find a beer that for all intents & purposes could actually be described as an English cider. Thanks go out to @lnashsig for this opportunity. A blended sour from Texas? Interesting to say the...
Pour is a well carbonated, light bronze affair with a slightly disappointingly modest head, little retention or lace. Color is a drab, Dubbel-like brown. The beer is not much to look at. Nose offers quite a lot of acid, apple notes - a bit worrying...
Jester King is a brewery that I have been monitoring carefully over recent months (even though I'm not crazy about the use of the word 'craft' in their name). Several people have mentioned them in a number of contexts that interest me (low(er) ABV,...
