Deinos Kynos
Jester King Brewery

 

 

L: Pale opaque and warm yellow hue. A finger of dense ivory froth climbs the glass before the first sip. A thin cap remains and a thin speckled curtain of lace surrounds.

S: Bright passionfruit blended with the ultra dank, some citrus and pine resin also. Delicious!

T: Follows the nose, much more strongly on the sticky weed and pine resins. Some expected dry saison qualities (for the yeast), passionfruit and bitter booziness.
As it warms slightly all these qualities amplify. Really unique and enjoyable.
F: Mostly dry and bitter. Juicy and sticky. Moderate high carbonation to keep it from being too much. The booze is well-hidden.

O: This is a dank weedy and boozy monster, and is quite well made!

I am sitting in my backyard drinking Deinos Kynos a double IPA from Jester King, Texas, ABV 9.50%. I have never come across an IPA from Jester King. Assuming it is a first attempt, it is a good one. It is oat and wheat malts, kveik yeast, and citra and amarillo hops. The flavor is fruity, tropical fruit and orange, grapefruit, apricots, mango, and a grapefruit rind like bitterness towards the end. No hint of the alcohol. It is pretty good and dangerous.

Look: Hazy yellow/light golden with a thick chalk white fluffy head

Aroma: tropical fruit, grapefruit

Taste: fruity, tropical fruit and orange, grapefruit, apricots, mango, and a grapefruit rind like bitterness towards the end. No hint of the alcohol.

Overall: medium body, thirst quenching, easy drinking, dangerous
