RSVP
Jackie O's Taproom & Brewery

From a 12 ounce can poured a hazy apricot yellow with good fluffy white head. Very good lacing.

Aroma features a mix of fruit: pineapple, peach and mango. Taste has the juicy flavor of the aroma but is toned down slightly and cut by a bitterness that has a medium bite and trails off at finish.

Mouthfeel was medium and carbonation strong.

I got a 6pck of cans of this beer from my local meijer store. It poured a hazy golden with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had fresh tropical fruit notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright malt base with subtle bitter tropical citrus fruit peel presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

This time, a short can poured into a pint. A typical hazy, it's a very opaque draught between orange and yellow, sporting a large, foamy white head. It is fading out faster than the WCIPA I had before it. Piney aroma, but with a more noticeable tropical fruit quality to it - grapefruit and mango, I would say. Definitely some hoppy floralness going on. Tastewise, it's pretty clean, sporting plenty of piney, dank goodness balanced out by more fruit-forward characteristics. The pineapple notes are apparent but also bring some lemon, peachy, white grape goodness. It's not really as strong as the aroma. The hops get some extra wiggle room here. Pretty juicy; the sweetness is cut by the aforementioned bitterness. Quite juicy. Solid, mid body and carbonation work well. Bit creamy, fluffy. Touch dry on the finish.

Pretty good. Not much of a hazy drinker, but pretty, pretty good.

Happy 20th anniversary to Jackie O's.

Jackie O’s RSVP lands like a well‑crafted thank‑you note in beer form — warm, intentional, and just a little celebratory. It pours a soft golden hue with a gentle haze, and the aroma leans into bright citrus peel, light stone fruit, and a touch of floral hop character. On the palate, it’s crisp and balanced: a clean malt backbone supporting a refreshing mix of lemon zest, mild tropical notes, and a subtle herbal bitterness that never oversteps. The finish is smooth, dry, and quietly classy, making it an easy sipper that still feels thoughtfully put together. I highly recommend! Cheers!

 

 

It's not surprising that this turned out to be the best hazy ipa I;ve had in months, it's Jackie O's. Amazingly, I bought this (and another winner) at a grocery store that specializes in 5 month old ipas. I saw the RSVP (new to me), turned it over and it looked to be less than a month old. Awesome.

It pours overly hazy, thick, yellow with tons of lacing. It's even more exceptional in the aroma, which hits you like a ton of bricks. I had to pause and just inhale. It might be a 5. The taste is one of the juiciest hazys ever. Balanced and bitter and a mouthful. The whole experience is first rate.

Highly recommended. I don't think I will be in Athens or Columbus for the celebrations, but I am so glad I peeked and found such a great brew at my usually unreliable grocer. Hazy IPA's taste similar, but this one is better in every regard than any I can recall.

Look - Solide slightly orangish tannish yellow and hazy with a nice white head and nice rimming and lacing
Smell - a little tropical mango pineapple with some orange peel and lemon
Taste - a little bitter, more on the citrus side with lemon orange peel and a slight tropical in there too
Feel - Medium body with a medium crisp carbonation
Overall - pretty great Hazy IPA
