Here's Jack D'Or, back from the dead again. Our classic saison, brewed once but fermented twice!
Saison is a Belgian beer "style" which doesn't actually exist, but if you like what we modern drinkers think of as the classic saisons of Belgium, this beer is for you! Ah, the metaphysical fun of craft brewing. Which also doesn't exist!
So from our family brewery to you, our lovely patrons, here is our ghostly, spritely, beer: Jack D'Or, small god of barleycorns and fun-in-the-pub. Golden, beautifully aromatic, lovely and hoppy with European hops. Fermented once without pressure using warm temperatures and classic saison yeast, then again in the bottle with a more neutral strain to give us all the lovely bubbles.
A natural, aromatic, beautiful beer at Alc. 5.8% Vol.

Bottle (obvs) picked up at the brewery. It’s a short while since this was packaged and it’s somewhat livelier now. Foam peeks out from the bottle and produces a thick noisy white head. Settles pretty quickly. Sits hazed pale gold in the glass. Nose has sweet tea loaf. Belgian yeast shizzle. Herbal hop comes across almost minty. Sweet lemon verbena. Taste has the fruity tea loaf sweetness first off. Gets leafy herbal and floral bitter. Lots of bitter punch throughout. Lots of body too tempered by a high-ish foamy carbonation. Flicker of astringency before a lengthy bitter finish. Lively boy.
