Description
Jackalope Brewing Company was founded by Bailey Spaulding, the Chief Executive Officer of the brewery, and Robyn Virball. Bailey and Robyn became friends in September 2002 in the tiny Scottish village of St. Andrews, where Bailey was doing a semester abroad and Robyn was completing her undergraduate degree. After college, Bailey went off to Vanderbilt Law School, and Robyn entered the working world, but both thought they were looking for much bigger and more intoxicating things. Bailey’s passion for homebrewing led to the Jackalope dream, and in 2009 the ladies dove into planning the brewery.

In 2010, Jackalope was joined by Steve Wright. He started out as Jackalope’s biggest fan, parlayed that into being the first Jackalope intern, and is now a full partner and Chief Operating Officer of Jackalope. Everyone agreed that the focus was to build a craft brewery that put out delicious, creative beers while being an active force in the community. Jackalope opened the brewery doors on May 21st, 2011, and the Jackalope team has been working nonstop to accomplish those goals.

In 2013, Jackalope became the first Nashville craft brewery to can its beer. Robyn left the brewery in 2014 to pursue other interests, and Bailey, Steve, and the entire Jackalope team continue to grow our dream into what it is today. We distribute throughout Middle Tennessee, as well as Chattanooga and Memphis, and maintain our commitment to quality beer and community, all while having a little bit of fun.

Draft. Cloudy, gold in Color. Aroma is a slight fruity aroma but not overpowering. Taste is also slightly fruit but not sweet. Just the Essence.

Can 3$. Pours virtually clear pale but, there is a slight haze. Nice big white head fades rapidly. Clean bright pilsner nose. First impression is; it needs more carbonation on the palate. Comes across rather flat, oddly no sizzle at all. Yes it does have some pilsner bite but a little less than most domestic varieties. In the middle, maybe that biter bite becomes more sharp. If it had more cutting co2, this stuff could be somewhat refreshing. Oh well, not bad, but not the greatest, just some what below average for the style. Becomes a tiny bit rubbery on the taste buds in the finish. There, you have it; from a lager lover's POV.

Can, pours clear orange brown. Maybe just a hint of maple in the nose. Yes, a maple sweetness on the uptake into the piehole. Into the middle, it is an ale, but not as ale-ish in the negative attributes as many. I can see this being called a brown ale, but it probably should be styled as a flavored beer. As a brown ale, this stuff would never match up to East End Fat Gary Nut Brown, Brew Keepers Wild & Wonderful Honey Brown, Beaver Brown Note, Bloom Brew Ol Willy Weddell's Brown or even Zuckfoltzfus Squirrel Bait. Towards the end, this stuff is starting to grow on me and is becoming a little more acceptable. Finishes with a milder ale maple taste. Decent co2 thru the session. Average for a flavored beer.

Cheap can. Pour is big n black, large and in charge; frothy head that stays. Sweeter malty nose. First taste is old aged burnt damp campfire wood, bitter baking chocolate and just maybe, a hint of black coffee. Seems more commandingly potent than 6.2%! Some decent sizzling co2, but could use a little more. Burnt bitter sensations tend to dominate the middle. Bitter unsweetened dark baking chocolate is supported by more burnt black coffee. Think strong coffee that's been sitting in a heated coffee pot and simmering for hours. Near the end, an unappreciated bitterness sets in the back of the throat with a tendency towards astringent phenolics. Becomes a little difficult on the finish, with a biting grudge-bearing pointed indignant long-lasting nearly rancorous grudge. There, you have it.
