The ’Jack of Clubs’ is a bottle conditioned, light ruby ale. Initial malty sweetness from British Crystal malts gives way to a balanced and lengthy hoppy bitterness created using a blend of flavourful and fragrant American hops.

Cask at the Wild Card Brewery taproom on Saturday 13th Sep 2014. Sadly this was not in very good condition and poured almost completely flat with no head at all on the malty dark mahogany body, just a thin collar of a tanned wisp showing. Malty with chocolate notes, semi-sweet but scored poorly because of the condition, a pity.
