Jester King Craft Brewery Atrial Rubicite

Zesty as hell—lemon-lime, white pepper, berries, wood, dry hay. Bright, crisp flavor; beautiful balance of light fruit, hints of pine and citrus, with a light spiciness that persists through the finish. Woody Brett notes in aftertaste. Pleasingly dry, with medium tartness balancing the limited residual malt. Light and refreshing despite the complexity, this is a fantastic beer.

Spicy, funky nose, with red fruit, minty phenols, overripe mango, tangerine, lemon. Citrus-juicy sweetness up front, moderate sourness; pleasant white grape, pear. Dry, woodsy finish adds to white-wine impression. Lively.

**Aroma:** “Nice white-grape notes with tart,_ Brett-_like notes. Juicy fruit character. Some spicy earthy aromas. A slight lactic aroma mixes with a wonderful oak note—wine and mint and very herbal. As it warms, there is a very slight hint of alcohol.” **Flavor:** “Moderate tartness up front with a mix of tart grapefruit, tropical fruit, and white-grape notes. The linger starts with the tartness and then diminishes into a wonderful grape character that is semisweet and very pleasant. The tartness is nice and helps this beer from becoming too sweet. The beer finishes clean with nice grape notes.” **Overall:** “This beer has a great combination of grapes and tartness; a good sweetness to balance both creates a wonderful linger that would be a great final taste to a dinner. The fruit is well-balanced with the acidity. Nice complexities blend well together.”
