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.

Growler courtesy of scrizz. Pours a dark orange/brown with a thick off-white head that leaves nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel, sweet malt, brown sugar, molasses, sweet fruit, and maybe a hint of citrus. Flavor is quite sweet and malty with sweet tropical fruits and bitter floral hops in the finish. Uber drinkable and quite a tasty amber ale. Awesome maltiness with just a hint of hops and fruits. Yum! I keep upping my rating of this because I was just amazed by this beer and it’s probably one of my favorites ever.

What a wonderful beer/ Great amber color. Great taste. Have always felt it to be a little sweet or fruity tasting. Has a great bitter kick to it. Ranks in the top 10 for me.

Brewed in Redmond, WA (home of Microsoft), this fine amber ale is a consistently excellent quaf. Mac & Jack don’t have a trendy brewpub, they don’t bottle their beers, nor do they advertise. They just focus on filling kegs with consistently great beer that can be found in Pacific Northwest restaurants and taverns. You won’t be dissapointed.

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.

It has an interesting flavor. I like it though. It is pleasing to the eye as well. I think it’s cool that it is only available on tap.
