Jack’s Abby Craft Lagers Sunny Ridge Pilsner
What the brewers say
“This aromatic lager features a sunshine hue, herbal noble hops nose, and a dry finish. We balance Pilsner malt with a blend of European hops and polish it with extended periods of cold conditioning. You’re royalty; now drink like it.”
What our panel thought
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.”
