10 Year Anniversary Dry Hopped Farmhouse Ale With Oats And Triticale
Jester King Brewery

Had this in the beer fridge for over a year, so time to enjoy it. Beautiful deep golden body, mostly clear, with a billowy, pure white 1” head. Nice lacing throughout the drink. Aromas of lemon and funk. Taste was a very nice balance of tart lemon and barnyard funk, with a bit more lemon on the tongue. Spritzy carbonation, just right. Overall a very, very good farmhouse ale. I wish I would have bought a few more, as it is drinking great.

Light amber body; vibrant carbonation with a few flecks of yeast sediment; billowy, white head, creamy and sculpted. Enticing light citrus aroma; lemon and lime. Mild lime flavor; light tartness; fresh thyme. Medium-light body; a little watery; citric sharpness; semi-dry undercurrent balancing the citrus juiciness.

I've had this beer sitting in our old garage for a while and probably should have tried it earlier than now. Still, I like the delicate balance and complexity of the beer. There is no roughness or barnyard funkiness (although I like that in farmhouse and wild ales). Nope, this is simply a pleasant, fairly well-balanced beer. There is nothing to complain about with that.

a rarity i thought i was going to miss, but i am once again thankful for my good friends in the beer game always willing to share their special stuff with me, man do i have it good, and i was stoked on this, one of my favorite beers from a really epic share. its for their anniversary, has it been ten years already? wow. anyway this is a funky farmhouse ale done with triticale and oats, and its quite hoppy, but noble type hops, really neat beer, reminds me a little bit of noble king, a similar hop profile to me, grassy and spicy and earthy and fully enhancing rather than covering up or canceling out the grain, which here seems dry and cereal forward, agricultural and rustic, there is wonderful depth and synergy here, especially for a beer this drinkable. but like so many jester king beers, this is about the ferment for me, perfectly bretty and dry, funked out to the max with very little developed acidity and a unique freshness with the hops that kind of makes the brett pop for some reason. earthy and flavorful, lightly lemony, hay and straw, fluffy body from the oats, and the malt is subtly unique with the triticale. i love the effervescence, the bottle conditioning is on point as it always is, and overall this just absolutely slays, like i want to drink a ton of it. the hops are awesome, nuanced as it warms, and the dryness leaves me thirsty for more after each pull. a real special bottle, a treat to drink. one of my favorite breweries, they can simply do no wrong! just wonderful.

 

Definitely not for all beer drinkers. Not as yeasty-tasting as I expected. A bit funky smelling and tasting but crisp at the same time. Complex for such a light beer.

Look: A pretty gold, like a helles, maybe a bit redder

Aroma: A lot going on. Citrus and coriander, honey, and a bit of cheese-rind funk

Flavor: Not too different from the aroma, with a bit of a yeasty aftertaste

Body: Pretty light, but not entirely, probably on account of the oats

Overall: Not my favorite style, which I knew going in, but still a fun beer to taste, not heavy but rich and tangy

 

 

Foggy straw yellow with a lumpy, bubbly white head.

The classic signature of Jester King funk is made cleaner and brighter in this new iteration of JK saison. This is accomplished by characteristics of not just citrus, but also melon. It also exhibits a unique florailty, much like honeysuckle, but a touch spicier.

The medium-light body has a fluffy carbonation and finishes semi-dry.

 

 

750 mL bottle. Cloudy orange. Big white head. Smells of herbal and citrusy hops, earthy yeast, light doughy malt. Tastes lightly tart. Lemon, then citrus hops, hints of doughy malt, then basement yeast funk. Dry, medium body, lightly sweet. Very nice.

 

10 Year Anniversary Dry Hopped Farmhouse Ale

This was a nice surprise, so delicious and complex and my wife loved it. I am loving it. Happy anniversary Jester King.

Look: golden with an inch of fluffy white head

Aroma: I was astounded by the aroma, floral, lavender, thyme, honey, cedar, tangerine. This is a beer you want to sniff.

Flavor: The flavor was oats, honey, tangerine, maybe tangerine peels, maybe cedar or other wood, not too tart and not too sweet.

Body/Overall: light to medium body, overall delicious
