Made using the once commonplace, Old World technique of bière de coupage, freshly hopped, young beer is blended with old, sour beer aged in oak barrels. Das Wunderkind! is dry, highly attenuated, unspiced, tart, floral, and funky. Unfiltered, unpasteurized, and 100% naturally conditioned.

Bottle shared at Jimmy's farewell party. Pours a clear gold with a full finger of white foam that lingers, then dissipates. Lovely woody aromas with lemon and funk. Palate is similar with nice carbonation. Drying finish with some citrus pith and light vanilla oak notes.

Yasss. Aside from a few collabs, this is my first JK. Great classic-style saison. Clean grassy, hay vibes, with the young and aged portions shining equally. Fairly tropical dry hops. Jan 2020. Pic: das Wunderkind.

Bottle, blend #21, august 2017, 5.3%. Color: Hazy yellow, straw, frothy white head. Aroma: Saison yeast, malt, fruity. Taste: Moderate tart, well balanced notes of citrus and stone fruit like orange and lemon peel, apricots and peaches, maybe also grapefruit. Yeasty hints, some funk, wood notes. Lightly vinuous. Pretty long lasting fruity finish. Medium to just below medium body, below average carbonation. light sweetness and moderate fruity bitterness. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Not that complex, but a lot of flavours to explore. Another very nice beer from Jester King. One for the warm summer months.

Bottle into a wineglass showing moderately filtered straw and sparse white foam. The nose shows clean moderately intense notes of saison malt. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Light notes of saison malt with a light pilsner bitterness on the finish.

Bottle, 0.75l, shared with Leo & Dasa. Aroma is musty, vinous, funky, citrusy and earthy. Pours hazy pale golden color with medium sized frothy white head and average sparkling appearance. Tastes refreshingly sour vinous, lactic, bready, slightly woody and funky. Medium body, thin texture and lively carbonation in palate. Das Wunderking...
