The culprit behind the Salem Witch Trials was not the demonic possession (which would have been kind of cool), but ergot infected rye. The rye malt and aromatic hops in this beer aren't likely to transform you into a witch, but maybe they'll inspire you to think about your own transformation - perhaps into an individual; a free thinker; someone who speaks their mind and follows their dreams. Personally, we'd go with transforming into an army of flying viking bears, but what do we know?
Ingredients: hill country well water, malted barley, malted rye, hops, farmhouse, yeast, native yeast and souring bacteria from the Texas hill country.
Admin Note: In November 2013 Jester King began brewing this beer using indigenous wild yeast and souring bacteria. All bottles from Batch 9 onward should be under this rating.
Last time released was Batch 19 in spring of 2020.

Bottle - Lemon and grassy with a Belgian yeasty sweetness. Pale gold hazy with a frothy white head. Belgian style IPA, although I get a bit of spice, I get more grass and citrus. A nice beer, but a poor rye inspired beer.
