Jester King Thread

I guess people aren't familiar with the early beers from JK. In the beginning, JK was known as "Just Kidding" to some people due to the bad beer that was being put out.

I mean, they had some bottling issues to begin with (exploding overcarbed Commercial Suicide comes to mind), but this is literally something I've never heard before.

It sounds like something a child or ******* frat boy would come up with, frankly.

I still remember those first batches of Witch Maker... They were incredibly off

 

[MChand2]

I'll tell you what is not off, and that's BdS out of the bottle!! Cotdammit this is good

I found it a little light. I think it needs some time to develop, so I am sticking my remaining bottles in long term storage

Can you expand on light? Not sour? Light fruit? No funk?

not much funk and fruit. You can taste the fruit, but it didn't really have depth to it versus say a batch 4 atrial.

Hmm bummer, thought the fruit from the cask that day was fairly present and real nice. May just have to test it myself!

Yes the cask was much better and everyone who got to try my bottle and a cask pour agreed the cask was better.

Trust me. Hold onto it for 4-6 months minimum. I think it'll improve like Fen Tao

I really enjoyed the silent release of La Vie this weekend, even if it was only 1 bottle. It was the quietest I've seen it out there in a month.

What classifies it as a silent release? Announcement on twitter for second release of a beer is pretty typical.

Wasnt really silent, but announcing on Thursday versus Tuesday makes a huge difference.

I disagree on the BdS from the bottle - I thought the 2 bottles Ive had have been excellent. Lots of fruitiness, and good balanced tart funkiness. Love that beer.

New release. Sounds strange, but I'll bet it's good. Label gives me a chubby. I hope there is a shirt.

First Jester King I have no desire to try. #FuckCoconut

 

[Lutter]

Love sweet potatoes. Can't say no to this.

 

[kmello69]

Want to try, but saving up Fen Tao and Aurelian funds, so I'll just wait until I have a chance to guzzle at a tasting (someone bring it to SMABRD)

 

[Alex2]

Dat new Fen Tao. Oh my wow.

 

[Compton25]

Dat new Fen Tao. Oh my wow.

 

[Lutter]

Dat new Fen Tao. Oh my wow.

Taste better fresh than last time?

BTW: hate you. You're supposed to call me when you open ****.

 

[Hookemhops13]

Sooooo Fen Tao this weekend based on my calculations?

Don't say **** like that. I can't drive up there the next 2 weekends. After labor day, I'm in.

Haha I can't go this weekend either but it's been 7 weeks since they bottled. It has to be close....

I was told August release, and it seems that this weekend will be the last chance to meet that target, so we'll see. But ya just never really know - as they always say: the beer is ready when its ready.

Would be my guess...

 

[BusinessSloth]

That depends. Is it a major holiday? If yes, then yes.

 

[thejukes]

That depends. Is it a major holiday? If yes, then yes.

So, next weekend.

 

[MChand2]

Hope it's next weekend!! Got prior obligations this weekend in Portland, OR with ol Compton25

 

[BusinessSloth]
