Everything Jester King

you drank it without me?

Are you going to the sourfest?

 

I have a bottle of Vera. Should I open it soon?

 

I'd kill for some more Boxer's Revenge.

 

^ still have a bottle left. havent been able to drink it

 

I'll assume the bottle share is on and will be there at 11 AM. Who's with me?

 

The fridge is stocked full here in Burleson with Boxers Revenge

 

Where's that?

 

Can't wait to taste it when I wake up.

 

Its Delicious. Light, refreshing, very little hop taste, bready, and a light smoke that's really awesome and not offensive

 

I reviewed it. I've never reviewed before, so hopefully I did okay, check it out.

There is only 8 beers of that style with enough reviews to be in the top beers. Damn.

 

Funkn Sour Fest winner: Grand Dame...everyone else was playing for second place

 

Can't wait for more details on the unnamed, until now, beers. Dame one of the Flanders?

 

my guess on the mysteries was Cantillon for #1 and Jolly Pumpkin for #2

 

apparently mystery 1 was Cantillon Mamouche and mystery 2 was JP Luciernaga

Agreed, it was the best of the guest beers. But my favorites for the day were Funk Metal, Das Uberkind, and RU-55.

 

You mean Wunderkind?

 

Nope, Das Überkind. Great stuff.

 

More info on these new beers plz and the event in general

 

Sweet, sounds badass.

 

The new Jester King beers were all fantastic. Absolutely stoked for any/all of these to see bottle distribution.

RU-55 was a sour red ale, about 7.5% IIRC. They also had Oui'Oui'!, a sour brown ale (Oud Bruin?) clocking in at around 6%. Both were great. Buddha's Brew (kombucha blended beer) was light and fruity with a hint of sourness. Super easy drinking. Funk Metal was lighter in body that Black Metal, with coffee & chocolate in the nose and a sour, dark fruity, dark malty flavor profile that finished dry and clean. Das Uberkind was the big brother to Wunderkind, and I heard someone say it was older and used as part of the blend for Wunderkind. Either way, delicious.

As for guest taps, they had Cantillon Mamouche, which had an interesting pepper vegetal note up against a light, dry sour body. Jolly Pumpkin Luciernaga was just 'okay' for me. Mikkeller Funk e Star was tasty, but I liked their Spontanale better. Brasserie Trois Dame's Grande Dame was the winner of the guest taps IMO. Big dark fruity sweetness with a hint of funk and sour--lots of complexity.

That's about all I got! Other beers making an appearance were Noble King, Das Wunderkind, and Boxer's Revenge (on cask and delicious)
