Commercial Description:
Jackpot Ale is a hearty golden copper clored ale with a pleasing hop aroma and flavor. The recipe was traditionally created to produce a beer strong enough to withstand journeys from the UK to India. The result os an assertive, full bodied beer with an enjoyable crisp hop bitterness.

On tap at brewpub: pours a nice dark copper with ok head with aroma of carmel, fruits and some hops. A little hop bite in the beggining but not as thorough as a great IPA.Medium-bodied. Finish is watery. A nice try from a decent pub from a good casino in a great American city.

Nice Red/copper appearance, with a fresh, caramel aroma. Big caramel /toffee flavor up front. Faint hop flavor to finish. Nice malt profile, could possibly use more bitterness to balance it out.

According to the label, an IPA. Clear, coppery color, slim fastidious white head. Nicely hoppy aroma, reeks of forest floor, raw hops, very resiny, albeit a bit quiet. Taste: neat little buzz of hops on the palate, but brief, ...fruity, for sure, and slightly bitter, but lacking in body and depth. Tasty, but just short of substantial. Wish it had a heartier tang to it...it’s an easy drinking ale, there’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s far too meek for an IPA, if that’s what it’s trying to be. Feels far too thin, ultimately, to be more an average, just-tasty-enough, kind of tosser-backer.

mediorcre when compared to a normal IPA, but excellent when you consider the lack of decent beer available to you on the vegas strip. copper color, smooth taste with a crisp hop finish. not as aggressive as i prefer for an IPA, but still respectable.

Draught. Best beer at the place. Clear, copper color with a nice hoppiness to it. Not as bitter as I like, but not bad. Overall, it was pretty decent. Worth the trip if you are on the Strip.

Decent hop presence in the nose, some sweet malt. Quite sweet at first but that is quickly balanced with ohps (similar hop flavor to Lake Placid Frostbite.) Tingly pine/citrus finish.

poured a bit of a reddish color.. I mistaked it for the red at first... it smelled mildly hoppy w/ a citrus backing... it tasted of dry hops w/ a citrus back kick.. it was a little bitter and IMO a bit watered down.. nothing to write home about.. I’ve disliked better IPA’s
