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!

Light hay and some citrus here. Doesn’t necessarily mesh well though. Pours golden with great head and lacing. Light bitter finish with some sourness. Tap at Churchkey.

Bottle. Hazy golden liquid with notes of white pepper, lemon peel, jenka, bubble gum, grain and sweet alcohol. Taste is dry and light bitter with notes of lemon peel, jenka and white pepper. Light to medium bodied with medium to high carbonation. Pretty nice.

Bottle at Mikkeller Bar Stockholm. A bit hazy golden/yellow with a small white head. Quite sweet with citrus, light spices, wheat, hay, yeast and malt. The finish was slightly sour. An ok one.

Good rating on this one prompted me to grab it, hope it’s good. Pours a clear yellow-gold with a decent white head. Nose of grainy malts, yeast, bubble-gum, citrus. Mild creamy malts, citric acid, some bubble-gum and a touch of cilantro-type herbal-ness. Not bad.

on the money saison, pours hazy golden with oil skin head. Light hazy golden, some fizziness n the carbonation livens the palate. Malt, grain and yeast vie for attention, and compete equally. This is a great example of a saison, light, complex and delicious.
