    I recently traded for a Biere De Blanc Du Bois blend two and realized when I put it next to the other JK small batch sours I have, it has a different cap. It's just a plain solid gold cap. Is that normal or did I maybe get screwed in the trade?

    I have had plenty of the small format bottles, and while I haven't had the Bdbdb, the recent AL and Fen Tao both had plain gold caps instead of the face caps.

    It's not unheard of for breweries to have to scramble for supplies at critical moments because someone forgot to order inventory.

    Appreciate the help. That's what I was figuring. Curiosity got the best of me.

    I've had Jester King bottles with unlabeled caps. I think depending on availability some of them get plain caps and others get proper Jester King caps. No need to worry. Speaking of which, I'd love to get my hands on some El Cedro again...

    bdbdb is still baller regardless

    did you do the trade on beeradvocate? The reason I ask is that I didn't see any trade feedback under your profile (my curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to see who would've traded you an unmarked capped 500ml Fruited...). That being said, somewhere in the Southwest forum Jester King themselves acknowledge the lack of design on some of the caps, as simply running low on supplies... I guess stickers are tough to get?

    JK did some releases in the last 6 months or so with blank gold caps instead of the usual logo ones (supplier issue). Sherry Atrial and Bdbdb b2 both had blank caps.

    I was in Texas for work last year & went to JK for both Aurelian blend 3 & bdbdb blend 2 releases and both of them have blank, solid gold caps
