A unique Amber Ale, Firefly is one of Jackie O’s oldest recipes. Dialed in over the course of nearly two decades and brightly illuminated by a glowing mix of toasted malts and American hops. Firefly emits a toasty citus character making it a great everyday drinker with craft nuances that flash upon your palate with every sip

Chill haze amber with a large, airy khaki foam that settles in lumps.
Smell is metallic pine, orange, rug and cracker.
Taste is overall bitter of pine with light toast and pungent, sweaty orange rind. It's nearer to an IPA than your old school Amber.
The medium-light body has a crisp fizz and finishes semi-dry.

Light amber color with a small tan head.
Sweet, bready aroma. Faint earthy hops.
Some caramel, late bit of hops.
OK, a little underwhelming.
Not one I would buy gain.

POUR: On draft into a nonic pint. Enjoyed at Maplewood Kitchen and Bar in Cincinnati, OH. APPEARANCE: Deep amber in color. somewhat clear with no real effervescence. Good looker with a thin white head. Lots of nice glass lacing. AROMA: Pretty subdued but I can pick up some subtle nutty and malty aromas. TASTE: Initially somewhat astringent, but reveals a deeper nutty and malty flavor. AFTERTASTE: This is where the beer starts to shine. The nutty and malty elements become more pronounced on the exhale. NOTES: Good looker. Could have probably consumed this at a wormer temperature to be able to accentuate the nutty and malty flavors. RATING/REVIEW: Good/ 3 out of 5.

Look: Amber, honey color with an offwhite, medium bubble head that foams up and lingers softly.
Smell: Sweet. Bready. Some honey. Mild earthiness.
Taste: More bitter than the smell that probably comes from the hop profile and the earthiness noted in the smell.
Feel: Somewhat lively, medium body, but refreshing
Overall: An ok amber but way better than any other mass market alternatives.
