Jul 2, 2009 Growler thanks to riversideAK. Pours a bright and cloudy amber color with a big light orange and white head. The aroma is nice; a ton of earthy malts, caramel, and lots of fresh hops. The flavor is initially mostly on the rich citrus and lightly bitter hop, the malt is the real backbone though, lots of caramel and a earthy sweet almost butterscotch flavor. Easygoing and mild as an Amber ale should be. Very nice. A nice creamy palate. Thanks Alex.

Jun 19, 2009 This was a very drinkable brew on tap in Seattle. Good head and lacing, some complexity of flavor.

Jun 16, 2009 The worst part about leaving Seattle by far is the lack of Mac & Jacks. I LOVE this beer. Very complex and drinkable.

Jun 9, 2009 I enjoyed this beer and would recommend it to anyone. Very complex, yet lighter finish and extremely drinkable. Slightly fruity and a bit of nut flavor. Could cross for fall, spring or summer due to its complexity and drinkability. If you enjoy a heavier amber, this would not be a good choice for you. However, if you prefer blondes to lighter flavored ambers, you can’t go wrong.

May 10, 2009 Nice hazy amber coloured body with a decent tan head. Aroma of hops and malt - equally as strong. Medium-bodied; Nice hop taste to the amber with a good malt backbone. Aftertaste shows a mix of an APA and an amber - decent definitely! Overall, a good beer, especially for the style! I sampled this beer on draught at Kelly’s in Portland, Oregon on 09-September-2006.

Apr 29, 2009 This is the beer I associate most with Seattle. One of the best ambers out there. Sweet malts with a healthy dose of piney hops. A great session beer and a great staple in the NW.

Apr 7, 2009 On tap at Tap House in Seattle. Color was a dark murky amber. Aroma of toasted malt, biscuit with a light cocoa presence. I had a bit higher expectations for the flavor, but it was just ok for me. Nice for the style, but just ok overall. Flavor was of very toasted biscuit malt with some fruit. A hint of sweetness. Drinkable.
