Mac and Jacks African Amber Ale

Brewed by Mac and Jacks Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale

This is a great beer (unfortunately it is not in a bottle) - Hazy dark copper in color-- this beer explodes with citrusy hops for flavor(cascades? dry hopped.....oh yeah probably with cascades yet provides a great malt back-bone.) scrumptious bitter bite lingers on in the finish making you desire more. And by the way this beer secretly delivers a high alcholic punch. three pints and you are doing fine my friends !!!

One of my favorites when in Seattle area. Good thick, full bodied beer with a creamy head. Beer will vary depending on location but Anthony's Home Port in Des Moines (WA) has had very good consistancy. CJ Borgs in Sea Tac also. Slight fruitiness balanced with the right amount of hops.

Pours dark and cloudy...dishwater at first that develops into a beautiful amber color. Extremely complex. More hoppy than usual for an amber. Floral, earth, tones. Appreciating all this beer brings to the table is a challenge because it has so many features to it. Unique brew.

tap. pours dark, hazy amber, with small visible paritcles and a smallish spotty head. smells sweet and malty, with a bit of citrus. this beer does not have a significant release of gasses, yet this does not detract from the mouthfeel tastes is similar to the aroma, it is smooth, malty, with a nice bit of hops, some honey, citrus, nuts, and a nice bitter dry finish. this is a very drinkable and interesting beer that i highly recommend. bottoms up.

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.

Had on Tap at the Peacock room at the Davenport hotel in Spokane, WA. This was a nice complex beer with many aromas and flavors involved. The head had nice lacing and body sitting on top of a beautiful crystal amber color. The flavors were also numerous with a nice hoppy finish.

Cloudy brown color with small white head. Tastes of citrus and caramel, with a good amount of hops. Hard to pin down the aroma. Slightly bitter finish with the hops. Pretty good beer, but not my favorite style.

Received a growler of this as a gift. Pours a dark cloudy amber. Aroma is pleasantly sweet and hoppy, as is the taste. I unfortunately discovered that if you let it sit too long, the yeast precipitates out. My favorite amber so far.
