Oct 19, 2008 Updated: Aug 3, 2009Deep amber colored beer with the heavy smell and taste of the serengeti. Grass is the pre-dominant flavor, but there are serious citrus undertones as well. Easily the best amber ale I’ve ever tasted and it’s a dear wish of mine that the brewery will start bottling it.
Note: Over the last year or so I’ve noticed some off flavors in this one, not sure if we’ve just been getting bad kegs or what, but I haven’t gotten the same awesomeness out of it lately. Hopefully the greatness I remember will return soon!

Mar 28, 2009 Great beer for all occasions! A lot of flavors make this beer delicious. I would definitely classify this as an upscale amber ale.

Feb 21, 2006 Very tasty amber ale. Pours dark orange with a nice whitish head. Taste runs rampant with citrus, caramel, malt, and tasty hops. Easily one of my favorite amber ales.

Jul 30, 2002 I had this beer once when I was in Seattle down at Pioneer Square. People had raved about it for so long, but regretfully, I was drunk when I drank it, but what I remember about it was good. The fact that it still kicked ass even after I had my share speaks for itself....long overdue rerate: Very smooth, perfectly balanced by the unique hoppy flavor. Anyone can drink this beer....a swill lover, to a beer god. They say that some Microsoft tycoons made created this beer...bottle it guys!

Jan 19, 2002 Interesting/appealing deep brown orange color topped with a nice head. This beer has a wonderfully full flavor with the balance slightly tipped in favor of the hops. Quite interesting and a little complex for an amber. An exceptional, easy drinking beer that is great to chill with.

Aug 13, 2004 On draft at the Virgina Inn in Seattle. An "energy" beer if there ever was one. One sip of this, and I felt like I was getting my spinach, special K, and protein drink all in one. Yeastier than a hefeweizen (my, i love unfiltered beers), with a big licorice and caramel middle that finishes with delightful hop bite. Bring this beer back East!

Oct 31, 2005 Poured a dark cloudy orange with an off white head. It had aroma of citrus, malt, and hops. The flavors were: pears, malts, apple, and hops. This beer was extremely well balanced with a smooth and creamy palate.

Jan 9, 2006 I consider myself a refined beer drinker. I used to live in Seattle and now reside in MN. I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a Mac and Jacks African Amber and it was by far my favorite beer to date. The carmel is a nice twist and the bitterness of the hops is pleasantly sublte. My ONLY dissapointment is I can not purchase this product in a bottle. Still trying to find a way to line myself up with a KEG and somehow get it shipped out here to MN.
