Jack's Abby Post Shift

What the brewers say

"Brewed with Bavarian malt and hops, this everyday Pilsner is bright, crisp, and refreshing."

What our panel thought

"Moderate hops aroma up front with a light cracker malt behind it. Hops are melon, lemongrass, and tea-like. Herbal and citrus. Low sweetness and moderately low bitterness with just enough body to keep it from being watery. Dry finish with a bit of lingering bitterness. Crisp and drinkable."

What our editors thought

"Soft grain aroma, light spiciness on the palate reinforced by a healthy carbonation. Refreshingly simple and straightforward."

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Jack's Abby Post Shift Pilsner

Aroma: “Nice noble hops complexity. Floral, hint of orange, some spice. A bit of additional citrus. The malt sweetness brings a sweet bread note to the aroma.” Flavor: “The sweetness from the aroma carries strongly into the flavor. The Pilsner malt character is clean, and the floral hops bring just enough bitterness to balance. Well-balanced bready, biscuit malt flavors with clean noble hops flavors. Very crisp and clean drinking.” Overall: “A well-designed and well-crafted version of the style. Easy-drinking and clean-finishing beer that is a real thirst quencher.”

Jack's Abby House Lager

Aroma: “All the peach flavors, from flesh to skin, jump out immediately. Maybe it’s the vanilla and cinnamon, but it even has a peach pit aroma.” Flavor: “Pronounced acidity immediately upfront, but rolls into a wonderful peach juiciness. The spices are subtle, the peach is the star of the show, with a nice lingering mild sweetness that helps balance out the acidity.” Overall: “Aside from wanting more cinnamon to shine through, I love this beer. Great balance and drinkability for style. A satisfying, warming, and comforting presentation of peach.”

Pontoon Brewing Company I Want It Cold & I Want It Now

“Light, bright tropical aroma of mango, melon, passion fruit, and lime blend with hints of pine, strawberry, cotton candy for a complex, layered nose. Flavor is less nuanced but delivers a healthy dose of piney and earthy bitterness.”
