Representing the darker side of Shandy, Jack-OTraveler is an alluring beer illuminated by the tastes of fall. He strikes the perfect balance between bright refreshment and seasonal spice. Jack is brewed with fresh pumpkin, for a delicious, dark hued, Shandyinspired beer.

12 oz bottle from a six pack bought at the supermarket. Aroma is strong in pumpkin pie spices along with strong floral notes, lemon, wet dog. Pours a weird dark muddy orange-brown with a medium off-white head that falls fairly quick into a ring. Taste is a mixture of pumpkin beer and lemon shandy with strong raisin, nutmeg, and lemon flavors. Body is medium to thin, mouthfeel creamy. This is my favorite Traveler yet. Billy and Brenn are going to love it.

Sampled from the bottle. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has an odd combination of lemon and pumpkin spice. Flavor combines sweet grain, spice and lemon.

Bottle. I put this off really long and finally decide to tick a few shandy’s. I was hoping this wouldn’t be awful. The aroma is light lemons mixed with pumpkin spice. Odd.
Ok, so yes.. It is lemonade mixed with pumpkin spice. Nutmeg, cinnamon and an almost artificial gourd note. Sugary fake pumpkin. Well, I was expecting this to be vile. However, it’s only mildly offensive. Still will not revisit.

Bottle at home forgot I grabbed this hopefully it’ll be last shandy I subject myself to for awhile. Odd clear copper orange beer. Nose is all spice and light pie. Tastes of traditional spicing nutmeg and allspice, some light pumpkin puree. Thin bodied. Not sweet and one of more drinkable shandies I’ve had. What this isn’t a shandy. Fuck a duck

Pour is a dark amber with a large tan head. Aroma is a very nice pumpkin pie spice. Lots of nutmeg. Flavor is a little watery and a bit soda like sweet and fizzy. The pumpkin spice is there but not in a big way. Smells great but the flavor is kinda weak. More like a pumpkin soda than a beer.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a murky tan-brown with a medium sized foamy white head that left good lacing. The aroma was caramel, cinnamon sugar and nutmeg. The flavor was tart and spicy with cinnamon and nutmeg. Medium length finish. Medium body. Ok.

Sample at the Great Nebraska Beer Festival. Hazy orange amber color. Aroma of light spice. Taste has soft spice. Probably one of the best pumpkin shandys of the day for me.

Bottle. A- Pumpkin pie, spices. A- Brown color, hazy liquid, tan head. T- Pumpkin pie, spices, subtle lemon. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- I have been pretty unimpressed with the Traveler beers so far and I’d hoped I’d like them as I love a good shandy. After a lot of letdowns I still decided to go for this as it was the first pumpkin beer I saw for the fall...and all be damned. It’s not half bad. Looked like sewage water but it sure tasted alright! Like a nice slice of pumpkin pie and an unusual hint of lemon but not in a bad way. This is one pumpkin beer I could drink. Not too sweet, not artificial tasting, but just right. Well done.
