We are pleased to introduce Jester King Provenance — a series of three farmhouse ales brewed with different combinations of winter citrus fruit. The first of the three batches was brewed with the zest and juice of grapefruits and oranges. The second batch incorporated the zest and juice of lemons and limes, and the third batch used the zest and juice of tangerines and clementines.
All three variations are dry, highly-attenuated, authentic farmhouse ales, brewed with Hill Country well water, malted barley, malted wheat, hops, and fermented with a unique blend of brewer’s yeast, native wild yeast, and native souring bacteria. Their flavors are yeast and souring bacteria driven with the fruits serving as integral components of the fermentation. We don’t add fruit (or fruit flavorings or concentrates for that matter) to filtered and pasteurized beer at packaging time to make what amounts to a beer cooler. Rather, we incorporate the fruit into the fermentation, so that wild yeast and souring bacteria can transform the fruit flavors into something that’s greater than the sum of the parts. For instance, think about the difference between grape juice and wine. Why are the two so different from one another? It’s because the grape juice has been fermented by living microorganisms. We apply the same principle to the use of fruit in our beer.

Bottle at Volvo.
Hazy yellow pour, medium white head. Huge citrus zest aroma, light yeast, and some solid tartness, with mango, and apricot. Good mouth feel, very active carb. Super citrusy finish, the lime come out ahead, with some candied citrus zest flavour that lingers. Very clean, and refeshing, with a solid tangy in the end.

Thanks DavidP for sharing the bottle! Teku showing pale straw with a finger of clean white foam.
The nose shows moderately intense tart notes of Belgian yeast and lime.
The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Refreshing lime throughout but tart and clean.

Golden with a large foamy white head that left good lacing. Tart and dryish with citrus, perfume and a bit of mustiness. Long finish. Medium body.

A hazed blonde ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, nice key lime pie with light lactic notes. In mouth, a nice lemony mix with light acidic points, nice.

Poured from the tap. Hazy yellow with full white head. Astringent lime peel with mild farmhouse yeast, pepper coriander. Too much lime pith.
