Amber Saison is a Belgian-Style Ale featuring complex, yeast-derived esters and phenolics with nice background maltiness and a low bitterness. The special yeast used in brewing this beer creates flavors of spices, notably nutmeg and clove and bright fruit notes to accompany. An element of malt sweetness comes in to balance the yeast notes. The beer finishes with a bright carbonation and a crisp dryness. The Saison style originated in the France/Belgian border region of Wallonia. Saison is not a single style, but more a family of beers. They were originally made in small farmhouse breweries and could vary greatly in color & flavor from farm to farm. The word “saison” means “season” in French and Saison beers were usually brewed seasonally and used as payment & fortification for seasonal farm laborers known as “saisonnaires”. Many of the original Saison beers were produced in conditions that allowed wild yeasts to colonize them and impart flavors. These Brettanomyces yeasts are now being used by modern brewers to help replicate some of the flavors of the past. We age our Amber Saison in oak barrels with added Brettanomyces for a special fall release in our Barrel Roll Series that we call Falling Leaf.

An Amber Ale focused on the malts, but with a nice balance of hop character. Expect a nice toasted malt characteristic and a light fruitiness.

Classic Bavarian-style dark wheat beer with pronounced notes of banana, toast and light caramel notes.

American style amber wheat ale brewed with English red wheat and a combination of Canadian and German Munich malts to balance the dryness of the wheat. It's nicely hopped and so easy to drink.

A beer by Brasserie des Légendes, not the same as the existing Ambiorix beers, as this is a beer which the brewery came up with themselves. (cfr. http://www.apaqw.be/Les-bonnes-adresses/Brasseries-wallonnes/Les-brasseries/Brasserie-des-Legendes.aspx and http://www.tongeren-vandaag.be/index.php/2721-ambiorix-bier )

Even the hoppiest of hop heads needs a malty beer every once in a while. And this one does not disappoint. This malty, rich dark ale is much like a delicious pie in its composition. A blend of American and English base malts build a rich crust which is filled with caramel, chocolatey depths, capped with a smooth finish and a hint of alcohol. Needless to say, this beer pairs very well with a slice of pecan or pumpkin pie. Cheers to winter, slow food, and the pursuit of deliciousness.

This ale is copper-colored, soft, fruity, and caramelized. There is a subtle aroma of roasted malt with a slight bitterness. It is characterized by a fine and dense foam.

Jester King Ambrée was inspired by the rustic farmhouse ales of French Flanders, particularly those brewed by Brasserie Thiriez in Esquelbecq — one of our favorite breweries in the world. Ambrée is a dry, tart, naturally conditioned amber ale fermented and matured with dozens of different strains of brewers’ yeast, native wild yeast, brettanomyces yeast, and souring bacteria.

Brewed with Orange & Hibiscus, there's a citrus snap that melds with Hibiscus sweetness and warm malt tones. Sessionable food beer.
