Mac and Jacks African Amber Ale

A nice unfilitered beer and I agree with n2h2o that this is one of finest beer ever. This is my favorite beer and I am really lucky to live in the same town as the brewery.

On tap at Henry’s Tavern in Portland. Cloudy amber with a medium white head. Aroma of floral hops and caramel. Flavor has notes of toasted malt, caramel, fruity berries and citrusy hops. Some moderate hop bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with a a smooth creamy texture and subtle carbonation. Nice beer.

Cloudy orange, nice nose of hop. Slight toasted malt with a good presence of hop. Nice clean dry finish.

Densely clouded amber appearance. Rich toffee, caramel nose. Toffee/caramel palate, mild and subtly balanced. Rich flavor, smooth delivery, with mild fruity hop citrus. Expected it to be a let down after all the hype but it holds its own.

Simply one of the finest beers available!!! It is really a shame that it is only available on tap. I have not been able to find a bottled beer that is as good.

Hazy amber with a nice hop aroma. Mostly malty flavour, bit sweet, bit toffee, lingering hoppyness.

Had on draught at Frasiers bar in Everett. This pours an amberish red, slightly cloudy with a medium sized pearlish head and slight bit of lacing. Overall aroma is tame...malt, caramel and maybe a hint of citrus or roast, but not too much there. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and light on the carbonation. Roasted malts, caramel, sweet cloying malts upfront, slight bittering citrus finish, but nothing all-too interesting. I was actually astounded to see this beer rated as highly as it is. It’s nothing all too impressive. Dry finish, too sweet at times.

Good taste. Haven’t seen it much in Illinois. It’s around in California, but common in Washington.
