Jester King Cerveza de Tempranillo

Appearance: This beer pours translucent ruby red. Mid flow from the bottle to glass it looks like watery, red wine vinegar. In the glass it looks like red sangria. The foam is light purple in color and disappears after pouring. No visible carbonation and no lacing. It’s a pretty looking beer.

Smell: Grape juice, juicy and jammy blackberry and raspberry, lemony citric acid and a hint of white vinegar. Red berry fruit by the foot. A hint of powdery, floral, earthy must. Zero indication of 8.1%.

Taste: Up front some sweeter, jammy, berry notes balanced by some more tart and acidic blackberry, Granny Smith apple and skin, light orange citrus in the middle. The finish is dry with bitter grape skin/tart red wine grape off the vine. Again, zero indication of 8.1%.

Mouthfeel: Virtually no carbonation. I think this detracts from the overall drinking experience, as some lively carbonation would really enhance the flavor profile of this beer.

Overall: This is a fine beer. It’s rather middle of the road for me from a sour and funky standpoint. Mildly sour on the flavor and funk other than slightly on the aroma. It reminds me a lot of drinking a glass of red sangria with a lot of fresh fruit thrown in, but more dry on the finish. I’m enjoying the beer but I would not buy it again.

Semi-hazy blood red with a hissing pastel red fizz that quickly dies to leave a silky smooth surface.

Smell is milky, almond-esque yet peppery oak that's somewhat charred and toasty with mature red wine grapes.

Taste has a bit of char and tart red wine as well as red grape with a hint of black pepper. Overall, CdT is very clean--it's quite possibly the cleanest, most straightforward expression of any JK genie I've had, with almost no hint of funk, which is quite unique for Jester King. I love their funk, but this is a refreshing change-up.

This beer is just fantastically smooth and effervescent all at once. Easily drinkable and perfectly sour, the finish is semi-dry and crisp.
