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.

Bottle. Pours clear deep amber color. Aroma of fruit and some malt. The flavor is pretty sweet with some fruitiness, bready notes and some red berries. Medium bitter.

Bottle at home. It pours clear mahogany brown with a small beige head. The nose is caramel, wood, dark fruit, berry and spice. The taste is wood, earth, musty, caramel, toffee, tangy red berry, some acidity, spice and toast with a dry finish. Light-medium body and moderate carbonation. Quite tangy and musty. Not too bad I suppose, but I wouldn’t rush back for another....

Bottle at home in London - picked up at City Beverage Company. Pours clear ruby with a quickly fading head. Dry berry nose, some wet carpet, leaves. Light sweet flavor, some lightly toasty bread, dry and musty berries, wet carpet light mold, some crunchy leaves. Light bodied with fine, fizzy carbonation. Mild dryness to finish, faint tang, bready malts, dry bread, leafy bitterness, a bit more carpet. Not good.

33cl bottle thanks to unstablefable. Pours amber with not much head. The nose is very faint with a very slight hint of toffee. The taste has treacle, with none of the biscuits that I usually look for in a nice bitter. The palate has a light to medium body with a similar texture but the finish is too cloying. Not great.
