Jester King Eezy Peel 750ML

Jester King Eezy Peel 750ML is a mixed-culture farmhouse ale re-fermented with mangoes, bottled at 7.2% ABV in a 750ml format. What distinguishes this release is the unusually generous fruit ratio — two pounds of fresh and frozen mango per gallon — resulting in a dry, tart, and deeply tropical beer that holds a solid 3.9 rating across nearly 1,000 reviews on Untappd.

Quick Facts: ABV: 7.2%  |  Origin: Texas Hill Country, USA  |  Style: Mixed-Culture Farmhouse Ale with Mango  |  Brewery: Jester King

Production & Heritage

Jester King operates on 165 acres of farmland outside Austin, Texas, and has established itself as one of America's most respected producers of wild and mixed-culture ales. Eezy Peel begins with a grain bill of TexMalt Llano Pilsner, Denton County wheat malt, and a touch of raw wheat — all regionally sourced. Primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel using the brewery's house mixed culture, after which the beer undergoes a secondary re-fermentation on fresh and frozen mangoes at that distinctive two-pounds-per-gallon ratio, roughly double the fruit load typical of many commercial fruit beers.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with ripe mango and bright tropical fruit, followed by a sharp, slightly acetic edge. Beneath the fruit, subtle woody and tobacco-like undertones add complexity and balance the sweetness.

Taste: On entry, the beer is immediately quenching — tart and dry rather than sweet, despite the heavy fruit presence. At mid-palate, soft acidity from the mixed-culture fermentation melds seamlessly with the mango character. The overall impression is harmonious and well-integrated, avoiding the cloying quality that plagues many fruit-forward ales.

Finish: The finish is clean and dry, with lingering tangy mango and a gentle lactic tartness that invites another sip. There is minimal residual sweetness, leaving a refreshing, almost mineral-like close.

How to Drink Eezy Peel

Serve this beer chilled, ideally between 45–50°F, in a tulip glass or wide-bowl goblet to concentrate the aromatic mango and funky mixed-culture notes. Its dry tartness makes it a natural stand-alone sipper, but it also adapts well in creative applications. A Berliner Shandy — combining Eezy Peel with a splash of fresh lemonade — amplifies the citrus-tropical intersection. A Beer Mimosa pairing it with a small measure of sparkling wine and an orange twist capitalizes on the effervescence and fruit. For a more adventurous serve, use it as the base in a Mango Radler with ginger ale and lime, where the beer's tartness provides backbone against the sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Eezy Peel taste like? Eezy Peel is a dry, tart farmhouse ale dominated by ripe mango character and soft mixed-culture acidity, finishing clean and refreshing rather than sweet.

How does Eezy Peel compare to traditional Belgian fruit lambics? Both styles use wild or mixed-culture fermentation and generous fruit additions, but Eezy Peel is fermented with Jester King's proprietary Texas-based mixed culture rather than spontaneous Belgian microflora, and its two-pounds-per-gallon mango ratio produces a more assertively tropical profile than most fruit lambics.

Is Eezy Peel good for sipping on its own? Yes — its dry, quenching tartness and moderate 7.2% ABV make it highly drinkable on its own, particularly when served chilled in a tulip glass.

Where is Eezy Peel made? Eezy Peel is brewed by Jester King Brewery, located on 165 acres of farmland in the Texas Hill Country just outside Austin, Texas.

What foods pair well with Eezy Peel? Thai green curry works well because the beer's tartness cuts through coconut richness. Grilled shrimp tacos with mango salsa mirror the fruit character directly. A charcuterie board with aged Gouda and dried apricots bridges the tangy and savory elements. Ceviche complements the beer's bright acidity, and a fresh arugula-and-stone-fruit salad echoes its dry, fruity profile.

What sizes does Eezy Peel come in? Eezy Peel is available in the standard 750ml bottle format commonly used for Jester King's farmhouse and mixed-culture releases.

Is Eezy Peel worth the price? Eezy Peel positions in the premium craft beer tier, which is typical for mixed-culture farmhouse ales that undergo secondary fruit fermentation with a high fruit-to-beer ratio and use regionally sourced malt — the production process justifies its placement above standard craft ale pricing.

Why Eezy Peel?

The defining feature of this beer is its two-pounds-per-gallon mango re-fermentation — roughly double the fruit charge many breweries use — yet the result is remarkably dry and balanced rather than syrupy. Jester King's house mixed culture, cultivated on their Texas Hill Country farmstead, imparts a soft, integrated tartness that distinguishes their beers from those relying on kettle-souring shortcuts. The locally sourced grain bill of TexMalt Llano Pilsner and Denton County wheat malt roots the beer in its terroir, making Eezy Peel a genuine expression of Texas farmhouse brewing at a level few American producers achieve.
