He is 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.
What it smells like, what it tastes like, what it looks like: This limited edition Jelly King harnesses the other-worldly powers of raspberry and peach, creating sweet and sour sorbet-like flavours that -- do I even have to keep going? I just said sorbet. A beer that tastes like sorbet. It’s amazing.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg May 04, 2022). Muddy dark pink-ish orange with off-white head. Raspberry with underlying peach. Enjoyable rendition of Jelly King.

Rich peach, raspberry. Murky pink pour without much head. Tart finish. A little lime. Well balanced. Pretty fruity but still maintains a beer character, unlike many beer smoothies. Tap at Rustico.

Foam draught, 8/12/22. Pink guava. Hazy. Pinkish head to ring. Peach and raspberry are authentic and smell pleasantly fruity. Wheat heavy, soft, clean. Juicy fruit and good attenuation with heavy fruit. A bit bland on the end. Light tartness. Clean. Easy.

Draught @ ES. Did not know they got Bellwoods down here. Looks like a dark guava juice, pinky-purple.Has actually a lot of passionfruit on the nose, at least that's how I perceive it. Tart, fruit, like really underripe raspberries, and I guess that's a peachy sweetness in the finish. It doesn't necessarily taste like those fruits, but it's good stuff, no question.

On tap. Pours a turbid orange brown with moderate head. Aromas of tart peach and raspberries - as advertised. Rich tart fresh flavors of same on a soft malt base. Beer, I don’t know, but a really nice peach beverage.
