He is a ruler, an overlord, a top dog, a crowned head. In the richly varied domain of prokaryotic microorganisms, Jelly King reigns supreme.
Rather than choosing between sour or hoppy, we decided to create a beer that would be both at the same time. Showcasing the aromatic benefits of a generous dry hop (Citra, Amarillo, and Cascade), harnessing the pleasing acidity of lactic acid producing bacteria (we use a 5-strain house blend), and coming to a bottle near you without a pesky 2 year slumber in oak, Jelly King is the fermented embodiment of having your cake and eating it too.
What it smells like, what it tastes like: Aromas of ripe berry, balanced tart, jammy flavours, and a hint of subtle plum on the finish. Light bodied, berry-influenced, and crushable.

On tap at Mekong. Pours a cloudy purple with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is raspberry and cherry skin. Slick body, jammy berry, sweet cherry, plum skin, light tartness, very good.
