Sour wit ale brewed with spices and aged in an oak foeder
Tart -- Witty -- Collaboration
This tart, witty release kicks off our Foeders with Friends collaboration series. Our good friends at Jester King came to town to brew a sour wit ale with spices to christen one of our new-to-us foeders at Bruery Terreux. We designed a recipe with bitter orange peel and coriander and set it to ferment and age with our mixed house culture and Bavarian wit yeast in the designated foeder for four months. Using the Jester King house culture for bottle conditioning, Bouffon features some of the classic notes you’d look for in a wit, including banana, pear, vanilla, bubblegum, white pepper, lemon and a signature yeast profile. It also shines with the wild character from its cultures and collaborators at Jester King and Bruery Terreux.

750 mL bottle poured. A high carb, bright golden orange pour. First impression is that this leans towards the Jester King side. Very refreshing. A truly unique wit, balanced between tart and soft spice. Orange peel like spice, hints of bitterness. A ton of oak, but not dry. Refreshing, soft funk. Lennon like tart reminder late. Delicious.
