Boxer's Revenge
Jester King Brewery

Copenhagen 17/11 2025. 47,3 cl can from DrikBeer web-shop. A drawing of a cartoonish horse on the can.

Pours unclear - almost hazy - golden amber with a small white head. Bubbly, Settles as a thin patch of foam floating in the middle of the glass. No lacing.

Aroma is intense with a light sweet and fruity odor mingling with a strong acerbic and sour scent. Sweet peach and cherries. Sour gooseberries and a vinous scent of alcohol. Red wine and a bit of Bourbon.

Medium strong carbonation. Slightly thick oily, lively ad tingling texture.

Flavor is fairly intense with a light sweetness followed by a strong sourness. Aftertaste is sour with a boozy undertone. A little searing. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry.

Fine boozy and sour revenge.

Copper color. Medium-sized, white head. Funky aroma with notes of malt, fruits, and bread. The same notes in the tart taste with a slightly astringent finish. A good one.

Canned 2/7/24

I don’t think that bourbon barrel aging works particularly well for Wild Ales, but a mix of bourbon and wine barrels sounds intriguing so I had to pick up a can when I saw it on Tavour. Let’s crack it open and find out how the combination of aging works out

Pours a cloudy deep orange with a finger of soapy light beige head that fades to a thin ring and leaves minimal lacing

The nose is very sharp and quite unique. I’m picking up on aromas of sharp oak, tannic red wine, cherry pit, plum skin, sweet bourbon, molasses, old leather, wet hay, and light apple cider vinegar

It takes an odd turn in taste, it’s more aggressive but less flavorful. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting apple cider vinegar, tannic red wine, sharp oak, lemon zest, crackery malt, light honey, and sweet bourbon. The swallow brings notes of lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, sharp oak, tannic red wine, wet hay, and bready malt

A medium body pairs with gentle tingling carbonation, resulting in a slick beef. Finishes neutral and drinks below its abv

This one is a bit odd but not bad all things considered

 

Best farmhouse ale from Jester king

Incredible aroma, very pleasant mouth feel and the alcohol is very well hidden

Date: April 2021
Style: Wild Ale
I enjoy the funky side of Jester King; thus, I purchased this beer. I used a tulip glass; the temperature was 44 degrees. The pour created a frothy off-white head with dismal retention. No lacing was left on the glass after the quick dissipation. The color charts around SRM 15, deep amber with rusty orange hues. The beer is clear; I was surprised not to see any yeast particles.
When I pried the top off, funky barnyard and orange aromas emitted. Nosing the beer, I detected apple cider, herbal, a bit of wine, a horse blanket, a hint of pineapple, oak, straw, lightly toasted malts, and bready.
The flavors are oak, pineapple, apple cider, lemons, herbal, floral, horse blankets, bready, barnyard funk, lightly toasted malts, leather, earthiness, and oranges.
The mouthfeel is tannic and sour. The body is medium, medium carbonation, and lasting finish.
The best thing I enjoyed about this beer, it developed on the palate. The beer was not bracingly bitter or sour to start with. The sourness and other flavors evolve to a remarkable finale. The scary thing about this beer the ABV is well hidden. An impressive feat and tasty beer.

 

 

 

 

750ml bottle from last night’s share. Pours out a cloudy opaque brown with a small beige head. Aroma is initially some light fruity notes, tartness also comes through, as does some of the barrel. Taste is initially the sourness, but behind that lingers the fruity tastes and a bit of savory spice.

750ml bottle, Batch #10, poured into a Hill Farmstead oversized wine glass. Enjoyed on 11.09.19, reviewed from Tasting Journal.

The beer pours an orange amber color, cloudy with a soapy white head, modest retention and spotted lacing. The aroma is nice, strong stone fruits, candied apricots, some cherry and plum with something more like raspberry, funk and buggy cultures that bring out the oak, sweet amber grain and a hearty dose of boozy barrel. The flavors are solid, lots of stone fruits, from peach to plum, berry forward cultures, a candied and sugary quality with lots of caramel and amber malt with big time booze, especially as it warms, lots of spirit and heat. The mouthfeel is good, coating and smooth with a heavier medium body, tart and prickly at the finish with an assertive alcohol warmth.

Verdict: A good wild ale from Jester King. A bit all over the place and the booziness of the beer doesn't work for me. That being said, the funkiness and stone fruit elements of the beer are pleasant and quite enjoyable.

Blend #10 - April 2018. Really tasty. Very good farmhouse style. Dark golden brown cloudy color, dime high thick foam that dissipated quickly, minimal lacing. Smell is funky notes of brett, slightly tart. Straight up sour taste with notes of tart raspberry and apple. Definite presence of the wine and whiskey barreling. Medium bodied, mouth watering, boozy. It’s no Russian River sour, but better than rated.

 

 

Billed as a sour strong ale, and it was awesome. The smell was fascinating with aromas of both barrels, boozy whiskey and vinous elements abound, brett, orange, lemon, papaya, barn yard funk, caramel, pear, melon, pervasive oak, and this finishing apple cider vinegar that was floral and actually really pleasant. The taste wasn't as seamless, but was even more complex adding in grape, fuller apple, vanilla, lingonberry, and a lingering light acidity. Feel was smooth and somewhat filmy, but full of wood tannins and a slightly acidic and sour finish. Really impressed, artful, creative, and complex
