Unfiltering the base beer did not help!

Enjoyed in a cask at the Firestone tap takeover at Flanny's. poured into a shaker pint.
Honey-colored, and with about the same clarity. Very thin, soapy off-white head.
Bright nose. Grass, citrus, funky orange and grapefruit. Some caramelized sugar. A touch of biscuits.
A more rounded flavor, less biting than the standard Jack. Some tropical notes now -- a little pineapple, a touch of apricot. Lots of grass and grapefruit and orange. Smoother finish with a little sugar and more biscuit than usual.
Smooth, round medium body. More carbonation than expected, prickly. Beautiful heft.
I like it -- a more balanced Jack. Who needs filtration anyway?
