Commercial Description:
With its deep golden hue, this pale ale is crafted with a generous blend of fresh Oregon and noble British hops. Aromatic and medium bodied, Jackson Pale is a fine example of the rebirth of hoppy American pale ales

On tap at the River City brewpub. Pours copper with off white head and spotty lacing. The faint aroma is just about nothing at all. Actually I can’t smell nothin’! The taste has a bit of roasted malt organic off putting notes mixing with mild to faint levels of spiced apple wedges, tart apple skins and a wafer thin layer of vague hoppiness.

Tap @ brewpub. Not too sure about the rebirth of hoppy American pale ales. This was some nasty shit, just like the rest of their beers. Pours orange, white head. Aroma is lightly malty, completely lacking anything else in the aroma. Flavor, just weak, some nasty apple flavors, light malts, a sure sign of the beer just being old, poorly brewed. It was nasty, like nothing went into brewing these beers or as if it was some month old batch.

Clear golden color. Aroma of sweet malts, crisp hops. Flavor is way too light... what the hell does the Jag Light have to compare itself to? 25 July 09

Light on the hops, light on the malt and lacking body. Eh. Reddish amber with a thin off-white head. Some extracty malt flavor. Pretty poor.

Coppery haze. Artificial butter popcorn aroma. Uber sour and grody, slick oily and gross. Sorry.

The aroma holds stale herbal hops and a ligtly caramel accented malt base. The body is a dark amber and holds a wispy, bubbly white head. Caramel malt, herbal notes some cereal grains and scant else. I get the impression this brewery is trying very hard not to put any flavor in their beers.

on tap-pours an off white head and amber color. Aroma is faint citrus hops and medium malt. Taste is mild citrus hops, medium malt-caramel. Lots of effervescence on the front of the tongue that gives a seltzer quality, easy drinking. OK carbonation.
