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!

Bottle. Pours clear golden with an enormous white head. Light citrus hopiness, light sourness, light spicienss. Fresh. Something about it reminds me of a pilsener. A laid back beer that still has got some character.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Whole Foods - Bowery, 3/12/10
Aroma: The nose is somewhat floral, some spice, yeast, light funk, and a drop of citrus
Appearance: Cloudy golden-orange color with a thick foamy white head that leaves lots of lace
Flavor: Flavor of yeasty malt flavor, solid amount of funk, pepper/spice, mildly sour, floral and earthy hops
Palate: Medium body with a bubbly/tingly mouthfeel and a nice drinkability
Overall Impression: My first Pretty Things beer, this stuff is pretty enjoyable. Pretty much what I'd like to see in saison. The funk here is present in both the nose and the flavor (more so in the flavor), but it is the right amount for my tastebuds. Really just a well-made saison, good stuff.

Hazy with a nice orangey-tan glow. Rocky head. Gentle aroma is a little bit floral. The flavour is quite orangey, heavy-handed with coriander. Light floral character and soft malts. The beer improves with food, as the spice is cut somewhat, lending the beer better balance.

bottle, pours deep gold/orange with a medium white head. Aroma is sweet floral and honey with lots of fruity esters. Sweet corn and wheat with hay and grass, touches of honey, flower petals, and some black pepper. Nice lingering spice and yeast in the finish. Solid saison!

Draft at Rattle N Hum, NYC. Deep gold body with a fizzy, off-white head, slowly diminishing. Aroma of clove, citrusy fruit, lemon, hay and with a hint of funky yeast. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet, moderately bitter and lightly acidic. Dry, but not saison dry. Some plasticy notes in the finish. Mediium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

At the ’Beer Temple’, Amsterdam, 28-10-09 Nice sourness on the nose, colour is amber with white head. Once again seems a decent beer, its a little fruity and there is some yeast, taste is a lazy sourness, actually I’m geting a tad bored of this beer the more I drink it. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov13 3.1
