Left Hand Jackmans Pale Ale

Brewed by Left Hand Brewing Co.
Style: American Pale Ale
Longmont, Colorado USA

This beer poured a dirty blonde color, with a haziness that made me suspect that I wouldn’t enjoy this beer too much. Aroma was malty, and flavor was a sweet maltiness with only a hint of hops. This wasn’t what I was expecting from an American Pale Ale, and I really didn’t enjoy it. I may have gotten an old beer, but there is no date code on this beer, so I have no way of knowing its age and it gets what it gets...

Bottled 05-18-07. Clear orange-amber beneath a large and lasting foam. Aroma is grapefruit hops sweetened with some clean malt. Taste is a nice balance of the same, with more malt upfront that transitions slowly to more hops on the back end. Palate is smooth, watery, light-bodied and a little bit dry and tingly. Could pass for a mild IPA.

This beer wasn’t bitter at all (as might be expected from a pale ale), and in fact had a sweet malty taste like a traditional lager. Still, this flavoring was hard to pick up because the beer was so watered down. I can see how your typical ’bud light’ guy would rave about this beer thinking he/she picked out one hell of a craft beer that’s not too bitter or heavy. I think that may be why I detest this brew so much. I expect a little more for left hand........shame on you for making this brew!

A pretty decent average pale al with almost nothing special about it. A bit watery - thin body. I don’t have much to say about it. Don’t buy a six pack for $9.00.

Appearance: Pours a golden color with a thin, off-white head. Decent lacing. Smell: Bright, citrus hops up against a subtle roasted grain and yeasty background. Taste: Light bready malts. Slighty yeasty. Faint, distant orage hop flavor. Mild bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. The carbonation is razor-sharp, though. Drinkability: Unfortunately, it’s a little bland, with no remarkable flavors. A fairly lacking APA.

Robe cuivrée très claire surmontée d’une mousse blanche mince qui persiste. Arômes âcres de fruits rancis, de bananes et de levures. Saveurs âcres de malt, de levures et de fruits.

Nothing special. Low carbonation, clear copper. Almost tasted kind of flat. its like it wants to be a great pale ale but there is something stopping it that i just cant put my finger on.

Draught. Pours a dark gold with a creamy white head. The aroma is light with a fair level of grapefruit, caramel, some tea. This is a very faithful representation of the style with a light, crisp palate; dry finish, and a moderate U.S. hop profile. It’s nicely clean with a good presence of caramel and tea with enough citrus to make things interesting. I’d like this a lot more if it were more assertive, but different strokes, different folks.
