A Note on This Beer

The masters at Jester King are VERY particular about how they craft their beers. For one, they don’t shy away from time-consuming brew methods — they lagered Munich Style Helles for five whole weeks prior to canning!

And, that’s just scratching the surface. 

To extract all the crisp layers of fresh bread crust and honeysuckle they could, the brewers used a highly-concentrated, single-decoction mash of Pilsner malts grown locally in Texas. Then, they kettle hopped the brew with Hallertauer Magnum, Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, and Czech Saaz for nuances of florals, citrus rind, and earth. 

Next, they lagered the whole thing in horizontal tanks! This is an old-world method that takes pressure off the yeast and really allows the brew to achieve a clean, sippable body. 

The finished result is one beautiful Helles-style Lagerbier, with an elegant balance of refreshing malt and hop flavors dancing throughout its crushable body. It’s like Texas and German terrior melded into one!

Are your tastebuds ready to experience this kind of mastery? Only one way to find out.

*Both Paste Mag and Vinepair named Jester King one of the Best Breweries of the Last Decade!

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Crisp. I'm realizing that I'm thrown off by the way these styles go from sweet to bitter (when I love bitterness in IPAs), so I'm trying to give it a chance. Tbh I would have this beer again.

Well done helles! Clean, floral, sweet/bread, clean finish. Not the strongest flavor throughout, but it's consistent and everything pulls together in a way to make you want another sip

Nicely balanced light grainy aroma and flavor. Medium bodied. A bit hazy for a Helles but this is solid!
