From a 12 oz can. Pours a clear dark copper with an off white head. Aromas are of nuts. Flavors are bitter citrus. Nice for the style.

Sufficiently English, with a deep caramel-banana malt backbone and a mild, floral British hop finish. Comes across a bit sweet, almost indulgently so, with the toasty malts gaining a bit of a diacetyl undertone mixed with a swipe of phenols. Red apple shows up as well, yet the finish firms up all this sweetness with an easygoing but present bitter back end. Still, the sugars continue to amp up as the pint warms, ultimately bordering on cloy. Not a bad pint, but definitely a one-and-doner. Good creamy English ESB texture, though, and the looks match their British brethren.

Can. Murky amber with a generous off-white head. The aroma is light toffee and toast. The flavor starts with caramel sweetness, then a bit of hop bitterness tries to come forward but the sweet malt finish pushes it into the background once again.

Leighton’s flat clearance. Thanks to Leighton. Can, named after our ol’ pal Jackl! Almost clear amber beet, tidy cream colour head. Palate is airy, ssmi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Dry and mildy sweet pale malts. Light floralness. Modest but fairly bitterish citrus. Light dry floral finish. Overall - a tad awkward.

Bottle shared at Leightons gaff , 19/09/2016. Many thanks to Leighton for this one. A clouded reddy amber coloured pour with a halo of off white head. Aroma is stale pale grains, apple, brown sugars, grassy. Flavour is composed of sweet toasted malts, nutty, apple, stale grains, toffee, dried fruits and boozy oak. Not a fan.

Can big thanks to LKS. It pours cloudy orange - amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, orange mufffin, sugary, candied peel, earthy, toasted grain and cereal. The taste is sweet, sticky, mild bitterness, toasty grain, orange muffin, kumquat, candied orange peel, bit of alcohol and leafed a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and average. Ok, but not as good as the original Jack the sipper (jackl).
