Draft at Jack's Abby. Poured a very, very slightly hazy golden yellow color, but otherwise clear. Aroma was tropical fruits, fruity, with a distinct peppery note to it. Pretty tasty.

Draft at Jack's Abby. Poured a golden yellow color, clear with a small, but lasting white head. Aroma was sweet malt. Crisp. Grassy. Bready. Easy to drink, some herbalness in this one.

Draft at Jack's Abby. Poured a crystal clear yellow color with a small, but lasting white head. Aroma was sweet grain, some malt. It's kind of no-frills, with some lager notes. Overall a step down from the previous beer I had, but still quite tasty and easy to drink.

First beer I had at Jack's Abby, and wow, this one blew me away. Poured a clear amber color, medium sized white head. Aroma was huge bouquet of hops, crisp malts, some grass. Super crisp and enjoyable. Big toffee and caramel. Toasty!

From Beer Drop. Canned November 25th 2025
Pours clear amber, good head of foam,retention and lacing are poor.
Smell is caramel malt, toasted malt, some grain.
The taste is caramel malt sweetness, toasted malt, light grain, light bitterness in the finish.
Mouthfeel is good, I would not bother drinking this again.

On draft at Alkies, served in a shaker pint
It pours a pale goldenrod yellow with a touch of haze. A fingers worth of foamy head subsides to a ring leaving minimal lace
Nose is wheat, wheat toast with marmalade, lemonade and zesty lime.
Flavor is very citrusy as well, semi sweet pithy orange and lemon move into a touch of lime. It mellows quickly as the wheat sneaks in and melds nicely with the citrus medley
Light body with medium carbonation, dry clean finish with minimal bitterness.
Overall it's an enjoyable citrus dominant lager, they say it's their take on a shandy and id rather have this than any shandy I've tried in the past. Definitely one to come back to in the dead of summer.

Poured from a can stamped 02/19/26 into a mug
Pours almost transparent golden with 2 and a half fingers of foamy white head that takes its time settling to a light covering leaving lots of sticky lace behind
Doughy yeasty aroma up front, leads into some bready malts with a bit of lemon shining through.
Flavor is more balanced than the aromas, sweet doughy bread melds with bright citrus notes, mostly lemon and tangerine giving a marmalade on English muffin. A bit of bitterness comes in a cuts the sweetness.
Lighter body with light prickly carbonation makes this one a very easy drinker. Extremely refreshing, finishing with a mild sweetness that again works with the bitterness to leave you looking for the next drink
Overall this is another awesome lager from Jacks Abby, id gladly reach for this in the warm months, grilling chicken or burgers while the suns shining or by a campfire early summer.

Poured from a can dated 2/25/26 into a weizen glass
Pours a cloudy pale goldenrod, almost two fingers of tight head that settles to a ring leaving plenty of slick lace that slides back down.
Aromas of wheat, big bubblegum notes and clove, more minor notes of banana and tart citrus.
The wheat carries through to the taste, followed by the big blast of bubble gum, a bit of spicy clove melds with the banana and citrus notes.
A light body with prickly carbonation, super smooth and refreshing. A low barely present bitterness makes this incredibly sessionable.
Overall this a refreshing hefe, brewed with their house lager yeast impresses me. I wish it had a bigger head with better retention but that's probably a bit of a nitpick. I'd come back to this in the dog days of summer and and be very happy with it.
