Jack's Abby Post Shift Pilsner

What the brewers say

“There will be no working during drinking hours! Brewed with Bavarian malt and hops, this everyday Pilsner is bright, crisp, and refreshing. We think it’s the perfect way to end the workday. Clock out, post-up, and enjoy!”

What our panel thought

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.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Jack's Abby Post Shift

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.

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.”

Jack’s Abby Craft Lagers Sunny Ridge Pilsner

**Aroma:** “Low, floral, earthy, and spicy hops aroma, with some lemon citrus sweetness. Fresh lemon citrus makes for a clean, fresh Pilsner. Light sulfur, with a medium bready malt aroma.” **Flavor:** “Sweet Pilsner malt, almost candy-like, with some somewhat tart citrus notes. Slightly earthy spice notes of the hops are well placed, above a Czech Pilsner level, but not overdone. Balances nicely, and the carbonation and mouthfeel are spot on.” **Overall:** “Delicious, very drinkable beer that’s refreshing and smooth with a well-balanced sweet malt and slightly bitter hops. The delicate body and champagne-like carbonation leave a crisp, lingering aftertaste—you could drink this all day.”
