Jupiter begins as Golden Swan but undergoes critical steps altering flavor, strength, and body. Aroma hops added post-boil and honey boosts ABV to 8.5-9%, eliciting wildflower, coconut, and pineapple notes. Native yeast reacts uniquely, yielding vanilla and white flower aromas with aging.

On tap at Red Apron Union Market, pours a murky, starchy gold, white head. Nose is a bit muted and a little Belgiany, candy, melon, clove, pineapple. Flavor is better and wicked complex, pineapple and passion fruit, lemon curd, melon, starchy oats, neutral oak, butter. Finishes full bodied and creamy. Huh. Cool. 7 4 8 5 15

Tap. Variation 2. Pours quite hazy golden, large white head, dispatch leaving good lacing. Aroma is Brett, lemons, a bit sharp, pledge, floral notes. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, fairly prominent Brett, sharp, not funky per se. Medium body. Decent.

Draft pour at Novemberfest at Rustico Alexandria. Poured a dark yellow-orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was really floral, juicy hop notes. Flavor was really bold citrus, with some floral notes. Not really tart at all - this seems like the first beer I've had from them that didn't have a little spontaneous fermentation. Glad to see that they can pull it off!

Draft at the source. Hazy bright golden color, white head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and pineapple. Taste is bittersweet tropical fruit and citrus. Delicious.
