The Story? The Westy put Jack's on my radar earlier this year. Anytime they have a new one on, I try to swing by. Their entire series is lager-based, which is unique in this era of ales. Draft night was in effect and I found myself in the area with an hour to space. Prost!
The Beer? This one kicks off with a touch of hops, but then it's all full malt flavor. I'm really loving the all-lager thing Jacks' has going. They've completely nailed it.
Flavors of caramel, toasted malt, crust, complemented by a pinch of pine from the American hops hanging out in the background of this very drinkable and flavorful lager.
Subtle quality is the name of the game with this one, which can be a refreshing change-up in the wake of the flavor-bomb beer explosion. A clean, session win.
