One of the Big Three from Seattle, the other two being Bhagwan’s Best IPA and Hale’s Pale Ale. Hands down the best amber ale on the planet. Amazingly creamy (no doubt because it is unpasteuzized) and sweet, with a masterful hop balance. It will be a great day when this beer is bottled for store sales. As it is, if you are Washington State, priority number one should be finding this beer on tap. The best kept secret in brewing, and one of the ten best in the world.

Surprisingly fruity (orange and lemon overtones) and creamy texture. Stands on its own merits. Tasted twice. Shame that it isn’t available outside of the Pacific Northwest.

I wish that I could have rated it higher than a 20. Mac & Jacks African Amber Ale is by far above and beyond any ale that I’ve pleasured in the past. It’s creamy consistency and amazing mix of sweet flavours coupled with just the right amount of hops makes this beer the #1 ale to have peirced my lips. Would somebody please tell these folks to bottle this hidden gem. I want to thank the city of Seattle for granting me the opportunity to become acquainted with this delight.

This ale is above and beyond comparision, as well as being my favorite beer in the world. Due to the unpasturized nature of the beer it cannot be bottled and has a small range of distribution. The brewery is located in Redmond, WA and is a great little place. Just today we called to arrange a tour of the brewery. When they answered the phone they responded, ’Hello, this is Mac and Jacks, Mac Speaking.’ That should tell you something about the size of this company. If you haven’t been lucky enough to try it, you should fly to Seattle and check it out. Heck you can even take a quick tour thru Seattle if you get bored.

Ambers are not usually my first choice in beer, but this one is. If it is on tap it is in my glass. Very nice head and is very smooth with an amazing taste.

Not the ideal location to make my perfect rating but ive put it off too long. Seatac airport before a flight to New Orleans. This beer hits every criteria i need in a beer. Cloudy copper and frothy, pillowy off-white head. Perfect blend of citrus hops and hopped just to the right level. Not quite an IPA so its sessionable and doesnt leave the mouth wrecking bitterness. Medium malt level that is almost cherry candy sweet. Perfect amount og bitterness. Couldnt get a more well crafted and balanced beer. Hands down my go-to whenever, wherever.

Great beer, randomly chose it on a brewhouse's list and was pleasantly surprised. It had a mild tart taste, wonderful aroma, definitely going back for this one!
