Jester King Buddha`s Brew
Wood-Aged Beer 4.7 º
This elegant Farmhouse Ale, a collaboration with Buddha’s Brew, showcases Jester King’s mastery of barrel fermentation and mixed cultures. The sensory profile is defined by a bright, lactic acidity that carries nuanced notes of tart grape and soft mineral lime. The addition of kombucha introduces a subtle, earthy tea character and complex fermentation esters that dance alongside a crackery, pale malt backbone. Effervescent and refined, it presents a sophisticated marriage of traditional farmhouse techniques and artisanal tea fermentation. The result is a vibrant, dry, and exceptionally refreshing Straight Sour Beer that highlights the delicate intersection of wood, wild microbes, and botanical complexity.
Appearance. Pale straw color (2-3 SRM). Displays a slight haze typical of mixed-culture fermentation. Features a large, dense, white head with relatively poor retention due to high acidity; highly effervescent.
Aroma. High intensity of sharp lactic sourness and bright lemon. Prominent notes of tart white grape and a soft mineral lime character. A distinct but subtle earthy tea aroma from the kombucha addition complements a crackery, pale malt base. No hop aroma is present.
Taste. The initial impression is dominated by a clean, bracing lactic sourness. Complementary flavors of bready and crackery malt support layers of tart grape and zesty lime. A hint of tea-like tannins and herbal complexity emerges mid-palate. The finish is bone-dry and crisp with a lingering citrusy acidity. Hop bitterness is undetectable.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with very high carbonation, creating an effervescent, prickly sensation on the tongue. Crisp acidity provides a refreshing bite. Alcohol warmth is negligible, and the mouthfeel is clean without astringency.
