Jester King The Weigh-In Montmorency

Brewer's Notes: Montmorency cherries from Michigan were added to mature barrel-aged sour beer and refermented to dryness. 

Tasting Notes

August 2023: I bought a bottle from Corks and Kegs as a treat. I was expected something like a tart Kriek. I am disappointed. The beer has an earthy sourness and, maybe, some tart cherry playing in the background. The earthiness may be oak from the barrels used for aging. The beer is brewed with skill but for the price I want more tart, vinegar, and cherry bite.

Rating: 1.5 glasses.

Jester King B is for B

B is for B is a delightful saison. I call is a saison even though Beeradvocate calls it wild ale. Back in the day saison would have been mixed fermentation. This one is, too. Flavors include tart green apples and oakiness that reminds me of cheese. I enjoyed a bottle with Alex as we ate appetizers from Monica as a prelude to Emily's and Lisa's BD dinner. Yummy.

Rating = 6 glasses.
