Lazy Magnolia Amberjaque

Brewed by Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Kiln, Mississippi USA

This and other beers were tasted at the Mellow Mushroom in Ocean Springs, MS. They state that have fifty beers to try. This a local beer and they had 4 on tap. The Amber Jacques was the best. I had two pints The head was a frothy white with a clear amber color. The caramel flavors were evident with a nice balance of hops and malts. It was not quite medium in body. It is smooth beer with a clean finish.

Draught at Mellow Mushroom - Ocean Springs, MS. Pours clear amber with an average frothy white mostly diminishing head, fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (caramel, grain, nutty), average hops (flowers, pine), light yeast (sweat) with notes of vegetable. Light bodied, oily texture, average carbonation and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

On tap @ Hal&Mal’s A really odd I assume rye aroma is kind of nice, definatly unique. Nice amber appearance with short lived cream colored head. The uniqueness of this brew hits you right away. The rye comes through nicely, has an odd mediterranian bread taste too it. Don’t know where it comes from, but I picked up a mild mixture of bread and herbs. Fairly thin palate with nice bittering that works well for this flavor profile. Overall drinkable, fairly unique, I’ll have it again.

On tap at the Mellow Mushroom in Flowood, MS. Nice aroma, not much of a head. Nice amber color. Great flavor, not as strong as the southern pecan but very tasty.

I have found a beer I absolutely love! tried one on draft at a local bar and went to the nearest supermarket that sold it and bought a party pig (mini keg). I am almost out and already have a back-up waiting. Best American Amber Ale I have tasted so far. I like it better than my old favorite, Newcastle Brown Ale.

Draft. Smooth tasting without any bitterness. Creamy head but, it didn’t last. Pretty tasty stuff from Mississippi’s first Brewery.

Party Pig: Pours a copper color with a compact head. THis is really hurt by an unpleasant garbage like aroma, although it is faint. Flavor is much better, with the rye subtle, although more noticable as it warms. A nice session.
