Left Hand Jackmans Pale Ale

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

Bottle. Very mild aroma with hints of pine. Hazy amber in color. Full body with a bit of pine in the finish.

Dark to medium golden color with little to no head. A little hoppy, but not enough for a pale ale. Bland by comparison to most other pale ales, but after drinking so many IPAs a lot of pale ales taste bland to me.

A copper color with little head. The aroma is lemon detergent, orange, and pine. Some mild citrus flavors and not much else. No bitterness, no complexity, not much of nothing. Overall dull. I just got a copy of the home game when I thought I was going to win the car. A letdown on many levels.

Bottle. Pours an amber color with a large frothy white head that lasted and produced good lacing. Good hoppy citrus aroma. Medium body. Moderate bitter sweet hoppy flavor with an average bitter finish.

Amber with an off-white head. Orangey aroma malt with floral hops. Good malt base with citrus, sweet orange honey and good floral hops. Mondial 2005.

In the bottle at Bill B.’s birthday party. Medicinal hoppy nose. downright mecurichrome smell. Thick head. Dark gold in color. Tastes like a glass of ice tea. I just don’t get it.

Bottle: Very malty aroma with lots of cookie dough and caramel. I’m not detecting any hops in the nose. Pours a bright transparent orange with a small white head that quickly fades to a ring around the glass. Lots of caramel and cookie dough up front. Light citrus hops in the finish barley compete with all the maltiness. As it warms, there is sort of a tangy flavor in the background that doesn’t fit. Not enough hops for a good balance, but still tastey.

A hearty combination of hops and yeast mark this beer’s aroma. It fills the glass with a creamy pumpkin colored solution that rests under a decent sized head. The robust flavor of hops entices the tongue which fades to leave a smooth grapefruit taste lingering.
