Jack's Gold
Green Man Brewery

 

True to the style: not much complexity, but minimal hop-bitterness and very crisp and refreshing.

 

 

Light floral hops in the aroma, with a fairly minerally backbone and a bready malt character that surface in the flavor. The finish is lightly bitter and dry.

 

 

 

 

 

Poured on-tap and served in a shaker pint, the beer is a bright, straw-gold coloring with a filmy, clingy, bright white head. Nose of floral hops, coriander, subtle citrus, and cracker notes. Flavors are smooth and balanced, with a cracker backbone supporting grassy hops, subtle spice, and lemon. Smooth and light bodied, with a tangy, grassy aftertaste. Smooth finish, making this an insanely drinkable beer.

Had on tap. Bright gold with a pearl white head and some lacing. Smell is more floral than expected, but has nice bready and cracker malts and grains behind, with some grass and lemon to finish. Taste is much the same, more flowers and minerals where some of the malt and perhaps honey would be, but a fine take on the helles. Feel is crisp, bright and easy drinking. A fine beer for watching the game at the bar
