Jester

◎ Appearance

A bright golden hue that catches the light with clarity and brilliance. The cask-conditioned nature produces a modest, persistent head with fine carbonation rising steadily through the glass. Excellent head retention and lacing indicate good body and conditioning.

◌ Aroma

The Jester hop variety dominates the nose with a pronounced citrus character—hints of lemon zest and light orange pith. Behind this aromatic lift sits a delicate, biscuity malt foundation that provides gentle support without competing. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no harsh or vegetal notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with the citrus notes from the aroma translating faithfully onto the palate alongside a light, grainy malt sweetness. The mid-palate remains balanced; the 20 IBUs provide gentle bitterness that frames rather than dominates, allowing the hop character and subtle malt backbone to coexist. Finish is dry without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, appropriate to the ale's modest strength. A pleasant citrus linger fades gracefully, leaving no residual heaviness.
