With a great, gleaming moustache, knee-deep in a woodland mash tun, Jack D’Or the barleycorn conjures himself into beer. Helped along by the other “Pretty Things”, the mischievous hops and yeast – a magnificent fester will no doubt ensue! One of the most joyful transformations in nature, better than any rabbit from a hat, beer is the result.
Jack D'Or is a saison americaine: a belgian farmhouse ale with American hops. Dry, bitter, and contrary, this is a beer for all seasons. Available year round, for fun times and happy days. Cheers!

Bottled. A straw golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of straw, lemon, and light notes of malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemon, straw, malt, and hops, leading to a very bitter finish.

22 oz bottle. Clear golden with a dense white head. Aroma is spicy and a bit perfumed with cane sugar. Flavor is fresh and sweet at the same time, fruity, spicy and relatively bitter. Medium body with a long and bitter aftertaste. A bit unusually, almost like Brett whiteout the barnyard.

Bottle, 22oz. It pours a quite clear body, golden in color. A small white head sits on top leaving lacings. Very hoppy on the nose, resins and citrus peel, with some white sugar and fruityness. Fruity and bitter flavor, some residual sweetness too. A flowery touch and citrus peel blends in. Full body and nice carbonation level. Lasting, bitter finish. Not the typical saison maybe, but damn tasteful and moreish. 101210

Rich barley malt aroma for a saison and rubber cement. Clear amber, thin head. Tastes like it smells with the barley morphing into rubber cement. Kind of off.

Bottle, 6.5%. Malty and slightly tart aroma. Cloudy orange colour. Very small white head. Good malty flavour, balanced by a bit of citrus. Medium to high bitterness clean and cleansing. Well-balanced. Some rough alcohol in the finish, but good nonetheless.

Bottle thanks to a BA trade. Pours a hazy orange gold with a white heads that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces nicely. Aroma has citrus and floral notes with some sweet grain and a bit of horse blanket. Flavor is similar with more sweet grain and a bit of citrus and floral.

Bottle, batch 10 nov 2009. Orange clouds, big carbonation, lacing golden head. Dry quite citric aroma. Lemon base flavour, ginger, light herbal notes. Dry mouthfeel, medium to thin body - feels a bit like lemon juice too. Quick finish. Refreshing drink, but a little one-dimensional really.

Tap at Rattle n Hum. Ah, the PT flagship! And an excellent one at that. Pours a cloudy, glowing orange with a strong, creamy white head. Lots of fruit in the aroma with mild tartness, spices and malty sweetness. Flavor is sweet with orange, pepper and bread. Light to medium in body with smooth carbonation, lending the beer an almost creamy character. Finishes sweet and crisp. Love this beer.
