Mar 25, 2009 Great Amber Ale!!! Pours a rich amber color. Fruity and nutty aroma, but minimal fruit and nut in its taste, which I enjoy. Very drinkable beer, all the tastes blend together wonderfully with a mild hops aftertaste. Highly recommend this beer!!

Oct 8, 2002 A good and well crafted beer. However, I have drank it way to much and it is getting old, unlike some other beers that I drink a lot of. It has a colorful amber hue and a good head. However, there is something about it that is missing. It is not complete. Overall a good almost, pretty, close to it, solid ale.

Jan 2, 2008 Pours a dark amber color, more like what amber beer used to look like. Nice tan head with some lacing. Aroma of biscuit, bread and some citrus notes. The flavor is more on the malt side with notes of nuts, toasted malt but without a sweet malty finish. Nice balance of finishing hops to make this beer very quaffable.

Oct 27, 2007 On tap at Trackside Pizza. Mac & Jack’s African Amber was delivered to the table. It was a brilliant pumpkin-orange, with a gold aura. The head was thick ivory in color, and hung around. The lacing was good, as was the lively carbonation. The nose was primarily fruity and floral.
The ale felt good in the mouth—present, solid. The flavor is primarily biscuity and nutty, with some raisin. There is a faint grapefruit flavor that makes itself known. Also, light floral and grassy notes. It reminds me less of other ambers I have had and more of a hybrid of a brown ale and an India pale ale. It definitely is an ale of its own and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Mac & Jack’s African Amber is only available by the keg, which is a good excuse to make more trips to Trackside.
The pizza I had to accompany the Mac & Jack’s was the B&O, minus the mushrooms. That meant a medium crust with a slightly sweet, slightly tangy tomato sauce, with generous portions of mozzarella cheese, black olives, pepperoni, and sausage. The Mac & Jack’s, itself being well-balanced, was also a nice balance to the flavors of the B&O—in other words, a great pairing.
