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!

Batch 2 bottle courtesy of j12601. Thanks! Pours a hazy golden color with a large pillowy white head. Decent head retention and lacing. The aroma is herbal and nutty with notes of citrus and spice. The taste is Fruity taste with lots of stone fruit notes, some grassiness, spiciness, caramel, citrus and a bitter herbal finish. Medium-full bodied. Strong carbonation. Very nice beer.

Bomber, batch 9 - hazy medium orang beer - very effervescent body, with a lively mouthfeel - aroma of orange rind, pepery spicy character, a wee bit of honey, some crackery malt - a little sweet up front, but followed quickly by tangy citrus, paving the way for a crisp, dry peppery finish - some light phenols in the mix, as well as a very young earthy funk - love it - I want another bottle to see how the funk develops.

On tap at Sweet Grass Grill. Pours a hazy amber. Its only slightly hoppy, with some lemon, yeast, earthiness, pepper, and finishes bitter. Pretty pleasant after a long day of moving.

Enjoyed from a 22 oz bottle. Very high carbonation. It takes a long time for the tall, rocky head to settle. This is a dry, herbal saision. Some spice and lots of yeast, but very little sugar, which is nice for a change. Dry finish on the palate with yeast. A cloudy, dark orange colored beer.

Bottled November 2009, batch 10
from 16th Street Liquor, West Vancouver
Cloudy golden color; huge solid head. The aroma is initially mellow, with yellow fruits, then comes a hint of non spicy Belgian yeast. The flavor is strange: there is some expected spicy malt character, but also a dim sour touch and bitter oranges, that make me suspect for a light infection; the beer is therefore not exceptional.

the first thing i thought of when i saw this one is that the brewer at buzzards bay went nuts. just looking at the label will make you think your tripping, but this was a fantastic beer, who knows maybe the new venue and name put a new breath of life into the brewer, but whatever the reason, this is a great american saison. crisp with a hint of the hops and zest that make it an original. well done

22 ounce bottle at the Publick House. Clear orange, thick, creamy white head. Aroma of dust and orange peel, and a ton of coriander. Taste is bitter, dry, licorice, pepper, orange. Unbalanced. Odd. 3.2 Re-taste: sample of 2010 version at Paradiso Georgetown. Significantly improved recipe with nice sour grapefruit and barnyard aroma and taste, much better complexity and character.

Bottle sampled at Firefly, pours a hazy golden. Aroma of fruit, citrus and orange peel. Flavour is complex - tart bitterness, fruit, citrus, light malt sweetness and well-balanced with hops. Really great saison.
