Mac and Jacks rocks my socks. My only gripe is that you cant buy it in the store, otherwise it is all I would drink.

First tried this on tap at Boston’s in Spokane, WA (Valley Mall) with a pizza. I had never heard of it at that point so I had no preconceived notions. I was very pleased with every aspect - dark brown color, hoppy aroma and taste, great finish and goes well with several foods. I have had it since at Safeco Field - it even went well in a plastic cup (something I try to avoid with any drink). Great beer...one of my favorite ambers.

On tap at the Sheraton Hotel Downtown Seattle. Has a nice rich hazy amber color with a medium off white head. Aroma of herbs, spices and malt with a hint of hops.Taste is smooth and well balanced with a flavor of caramel and floral undertones. Finishes sightly sweet from the maltyness.Very nice beer. I will be drinking more of his.

golden/brown body, big rocky tan head, brown sugar and sweet malt nose, flavor is a mess of vanilla, brown sugar, butterscotch, sweet malts and assorted spices, great complex amber with character

I love this beer. Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get around to rating it. I can only get it on tap, so this is from (drunken) memory, but I recall a long and recessed hop profile. A lot of nuttiness in the nose and flavor, with some grapefruit hops, which are counter-balanced by some very nice toffee malt. Extremely well balanced....I think I may buy a keg and let it chill in my bathtub. Forget showers....

It’s a shame this beer can only be found on tap, but if it were bottled I’d probably go broke! Sweet and carmally with a hint of citrus makes. I always order this beer if it is available and nothing new looks interesting.

TAP - red cloudy amber, quickly diminishing head, no lacing. Very tasty hoppy, but not bitter at all, pretty sweet with strong hints of spices that I can’t put my finger on. More like a holiday ale in that way I guess... Anyway, superior amber ale a must taste!

makes a point of tasting overly sweet. Better Amber’s finish clean and do not coat your mouth in sugat
