He is a ruler, an overlord, a top dog, a crowned head.
In the realm of all that is tart and sour, Jelly King reigns supreme.
Rather than choosing between sour or hoppy, we decided to create a beer that would be both at the same time. Showcasing the aromatic benefits of a generous dry hop, harnessing the prowess of lactic acidity, and coming to a can near you without a pesky slumber in oak, Jelly King is the fermented embodiment of immediate gratification.
What it smells like, what it tastes like, what it looks like: Jelly King combines bright and juicy hop aromatics with a refreshingly tart base, and is bursting with notes of fuzzy peach, tangerine, and grapefruit.

Randolph Beer DUMBO tap: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is loads of peach and sour ale aromas... I guess funk or whatever you want to call it. Taste is rather sour. Loads of peach. Very fruity sour. Solid.

(500ml bottle from the Ossington bottle shop) Pours a quite hazy orange-gold with an average white head and spotty lace. Aroma of juicy tangerines, light grapefruit, lactic acidity, soft pit fruit. Flavour is tart, juicy, notes of apricot/peach, tangerine, some biting grapefruit juice, subtle wheaty feel, rather lactic, light pine, very low bitterness. Light to medium bodied, rather soft carbonation. A clearly refreshing brew that quenches with just the right amount of juicy tartness. It's not as vibrantly hop-forward as the pilot Dry Hopped Sour I had last time I was in Toronto. Different hop schedule/batch variation?

En fut au Bar Lupulus. Au nez: agrumes et fruits tropicaux. Un nez de dry hop. Couleur dorée / orangée. Petite mousse. Belles traces sur le verre. En bouche c'est acidulé, funky, avec des notes de citron, de pamplemousse et beaucoup d'agrumes. Houblonnage très bien équilibré avec les levures sauvages. Fruits tropicaux en sourdine. Excellente et bien équilibrée.
