Sensory Description:

The nose bursts with classic West Coast aromatics of grapefruit rind, pine needles, resin, tangerine, and subtle tropical fruit layered with dank herbal character. On the palate, crisp malt structure supports concentrated hop flavors of citrus oil, ripe pineapple, passionfruit, and fresh-cut herbs. Simcoe provides earthy pine and resinous depth while Mosaic and Citra Cryo amplify bright citrus and juicy tropical tones. Krush Cryo contributes additional layers of stone fruit and modern hop intensity. Despite its expressive aromatics, the beer remains sharply defined and highly drinkable, finishing dry, clean, and pleasantly bitter with lingering citrus zest and pine.

Brewer’s Background:

Set on a working ranch in the Texas Hill Country, Jester King has become one of America’s most respected farmhouse breweries through its commitment to beers rooted in place, patience, and thoughtful craftsmanship. While renowned globally for mixed-culture wild ales and oak-aged farmhouse beers, the brewery’s clean beer program has evolved into a showcase for highly expressive hop-forward styles, lagers, and stouts.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 5–7 °C in an IPA or nonic pint glass to emphasize hop aroma and crisp bitterness. Pairs exceptionally well with grilled burgers, spicy wings, wood-fired pizza, sharp cheddar, tacos al pastor, or smoked brisket. Its dry finish and bright bitterness also make it an excellent aperitif-style IPA for hop-focused drinkers.
