We’re excited to introduce our lastest beer — Jester King Bière de Miel. Named after the classic style (honey beer), Jester King Bière de Miel was brewed, fermented, and naturally conditioned with raw, Texas wildflower honey. We sought to take the classic style and impart a sense of place in the beer through wild fermentation with naturally occurring yeast and souring bacteria harvested from the Texas Hill Country.

Bottle. Master of Malt. Label states batch 6 June 2018 bottling. Hazed, vivid gold. Thick and fairly dense, lasting, white head. Nose has bready, fruited loaf. Some lemon peel. Floral honey. Light leathery brett. Taste is a little tart, and fairly dry. Some pithy citrus bitterness. Fresh and light mouthfeel. High level of foamy carbonation. Tart and dry finish. Easy drinking, albeit a tad muted.

Bottle, 0.75l, shared with Gregor. Aroma of cereals, honey, must and wild yeast. Pours cloudy pale golden color with thin quickly diminishing white head and sparkling appearance.

Straw blond with light haze. Aroma and flavour have a light floral honey note. Exceptionally dry throughout. The dryness is a bit overwhelming.
