A ruler, an overlord, a top dog, a crowned head. In the realm of all that is tart and sour, Jelly King reigns supreme.
Rather than choosing between sour or hoppy, we decided to create a beer that would be both at the same time. Showcasing the aromatic benefits of a generous dry hop, harnessing the prowess of lactic acidity, and coming to a bottle near you without a pesky slumber in oak, Jelly King is the fermented embodiment of immediate gratification.
This limited edition Jelly King variant was conditioned on loads of marionberry: a cultivated version of blackberry which was developed in 1956 in Oregon. Growing on vines, marionberries are tart, earthy and sweet (as is this Jelly King!).

A hazed milky purple ale with a thin lacing creamy light purplish head. In aroma, sweet fruity mix of tart berries, dark fruits, light Epsom salts, very nice. In mouth, a nice tart mix of blueberry, light acidity, Epsom salts, very nice. On tap at Dominion City.

Jammy, sweetish and slightly tart with some berries, hints of sourness and fruitiness. A bit simple.

On tap at Bellwoods, pours a cloudy dark pinkish red with a small pink head. Aroma is full of lacto galore, big jammy berries, and more yogurt. Flavour is full of pithy, jammy berries and big yogurty notes from the lacto. Pretty typical fruited kettle sour. Nothing complex, just lots of fruit pith and jamminess over lacto. Fine.
