    Anyone in north Austin able to grab an extra bottle? I'll gladly pay but can't make it out there this weekend. BM me if you can help. Cheers to those of you getting to spend some time out there this weekend!

    So how does it taste? Surely there is at least one CRITIC among all you businessmen!?

    Here was my take on encendia:

    Pours a rich and attractive glowing orange color. Smell is malty syrup and wood. Heavier, richer smell than the others I've had from then. Taste is herbal, woody, deep malt, very light funk, tartness and faint warmth in the chest either from the alcohol or chili. Lots going on. Almost a tequila flavor. Soft carbonation. Dry finish. Very unique and enjoyable.

    I went yesterday, and today. Met some awesome people from all over texas, Florida and arkansas. I'm impressed with how smooth the bottle purchase line went. Very organized and prepared. While I may not have the full appreciation of sours just yet :slight_smile:, jester king is a great asset to the austin area, and brewery community in general. Thanks for a great time!

    I bring mules and ask random people to buy me bottles. there is no secret handshake or anything. They hooked me up for my birthday celebration but beyond that you've gotta hustle.

    This is a good beer, but out of the barrel a while back it almost tasted like a wild ale margarita.

    Had a wonderful time on Friday meeting the usual suspects.

    BIG Thanks to @jesterkingbeer for letting us do a bottle share and having some of your tasty beverages on tap for an exceptional day of day drinking.

    Encendia has quickly become one of my favorite JK beers. CHEERS!

    Absolutely! Had a great time as well on Friday (even though it was a short visit for me). Enjoyed a few bottles from the share and met a few more of ya. Great times!

    Went back out yesterday to get more bottles and actually hang with the family and a few friends.

    Was going to go back today, but the weather from Houston looks terrible. @jesterkingbeer Will Encendia last until next weekend?

    I don't have the final numbers from this weekend yet, but I'd be very surprised if Encendia isn't on next weekend's list. - Jeff

    This beer didn't disappoint. Did a quick day trip from Dallas for my birthday yesterday and so glad we did. I had a really tough time trying to determine if Encendia or Nocturn was better. I really hope this is brewed again!

    If anyone is able to grab an extra, I'm in north Austin and would gladly pay or trade you for it. Have young kids at home alone and can't make it out there.
