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.

Hazy pale blond colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have lemon rind and pith. This gives a lasting bitterness in the finish. Marginal. Very close to a cleaning product but just about ok.

Hazy, yellow, medium head. Nice aroma of lime, meyer lemon, and maybe even a bit of spice. Quite spicy - coriander and black pepper notes, alongside the bright lemon and key lime stuff. Sweet without lactose, too. Imagine that.

Draught at Darby's Gastown, Vancouver; 5.6% ABV
Cloudy to murky blond colour. Lime aroma as advertised, to me it reminds me of cleaning product... Soft mouthfeel, nice yeast character, rusric, some astringency, and then the citrus peel.
Quite good, I may not be onboard with the concept, but undoubtly well made.

Draft at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Fairly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of lemon, lime, herbs and light funk. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and moderate sour. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Funky saison, lemon cheesecake

Taster shared with Alex. Appearance: murky blond with a white head. Aroma: lots of lime and lemon with slight baking spice. Taste: similar with noticeable hoppy bitterness. Overall: interesting, despite maybe some a bit overpowering lime notes.

On tap. Pours a hazy dull amber with moderate head. Aromas of fresh cut lemons and wheaty malts. Flavors of tart limes, lemon zest, and more wheaty malts. Definitely limey...

Tap at Luppolo Station in Rome-Italy. Hazy pale golden pour with a persistent white foam quite stable. Nose: it’s ingedients are there, lemon grass too and a feel of peppermint. Mouth: so refreshing, bit bitter, grassy, lime, even sweet and cocktail like. Excellent.
