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!

Pours a clear golden color with a fluffy white head that sticks around forever. Smells of spicy pine, citrus, Belgian yeast esters. Tastes of citrus and pine, finishes spicy with Belgian yeast esters. Medium body, smooth syrupy mouthfeel, ample carbonation. Strange little saison, a bit hop forward, but it kinda works. I liked it.

Bottle at the Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Very hazy amber beer. Little white head. Dry palate, slightly soft. Creamy malt with a trace of spice. Vibrant fresh grapefruit and it’s accompanying bitterness. Soft and dry finish. Bitter aftertase. Quite a hoppy-bitter saison but it slipped down very easy!

Bottle: Poured a bright light copper color ale with a rather large foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of Belgian malt with light fruity notes. Taste is quite enjoyable with nice notes of Belgian-style malt with some light fruity ester and some residual sugar. Body is full with a somewhat oily texture and good carbonation. Not as floral or spicy as envisioned but very interesting nonetheless.

Golden with a small white head. Aroma of exotic fruit, hers and spice and some biscuit maltiness. Dry and fruity, with grassy and heral hops and a very bitter finish. An American saison that’s dry like a true Belgian. That doesn’t happen often, well done!
