Jack's Abby House Lager
Landbier, AKA “House Lager,” pulls inspiration from the numerous country lagers or landbiers found in Franconia. Don’t let the name House Lager fool you—sweet and golden with a full, malty body—this is a special beer for year-round enjoyment.

Can from Bierbaum De Pijp, Amsterdam. Aroma is grainy malt with straw. Mild sweetish and light bitter flavour, medium body. Lacks a little depth, but good unfiltered Lager.
Slightly hazy gold with a big white head. Aroma of grass and biscuit malt. Taste slightly sweet but with some faint bitterness. Pleasant and slightly bucolic, presumably as intended.
Crisp yet malty lager.
Can from the sampler box. Nose bit rustic, straw, Munichy bread crusts, citrus, grain. Pour rich but opaque golden with a soapy bright white head. Taste half-dry, low bitterness, squeaky-clean, strongly grainy with low citrus, very bright and fresh, lots of fresh bread and fresh grain, golden malt. Clean and well-crafted with a little crispy snap. Full body without heaviness, medium mineral, stays half-dry throughout, very good (recommendable, even!) but doesn't get into satisfaction territory, there's an itch it just can't scratch.

Pours hazy gold with a thick white head. Aroma of citrus and coriander. Taste is light, sweet malt and fruity tones dominate. Palate has more coriander, slight hop notes on the back of the tongue. Great beer. Elegant and floral in nature.

On draft, clear yellow gold, thin rocky white head that dissipates quickly. Nose is biscuits, grass, some lemon. Taste is nice and sweet biscuits, a bit of herbal hops, slight bit of bitterness on the tongue. Refreshing beer.
16 oz can. Pours a cloudy bright gold with a medium white head that dissipates pretty quickly. Scents of citrus, grass and malts. Great flavors of malt, bread, crackers with a good hops bite. These guys make great beer.
Very hazy golden coloured body with a nice, slightly soapy white head on top. Aroma of grass and very mild hay and subdued herbal elements with a light dose of the yeast and some more mellow scents. Light-bodied; Very soft and structured malts with some biscuits, a dose of yeast and grain with a touch of grasses and hay with a light sweetness and fresh apple and pear flavour towards the end. Aftertaste shows some grasses with hay, light coriander seed freshness and ending with a good biscuity and fresh canned corn flavour with some sweetness and a robust fresh, clean bite at the very end. Overall, a nice and soft beer with a great biscuity and malty bite with some yeast, dry flavours and complex malt notes showing through on top of some light sweetness and structured very mellow fruit flavours without much hops at all. Nice to sample and very mild throughout, quite easy-to-drink during the summertime especially! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from GlenRo Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 10-March-2018 for US$1,00 sampled in my hotel room in Orlando, Florida on 06-May-2018.
16 oz. can. Canned on 03/26/18. Pours a medium, well retained, off white head, over an effervescent, clear light gold (SRM 4) body......nose is toasted malts with bread, cracker tones, slight caramel hints, mild floral, herbal tones from the hops, balance to the malts.....taste is initially slightly sweet tones, toasted malts with cracker notes, becoming dry with herbal/spice hop tones and moderate hop bitterness, no esters, balanced......mouth feel, medium light body, no alcohol, high carbonation. The beer is quite clean throughout, with adequate contribution from both the malt and hop backbones to meet the style quite nicely. It is a refreshing and drinkable beer. BJCP 8/3/15/4/8
Pours clear golden with thick, foamy head. Aroma is caramel and grassy. Taste is sweet caramel and plum, warming to earthy tones. Finish is smooth floral. A enjoyable, easy drinking lager.

Draft at Khyber Pass. Hazy gold pour with some off-white foam. Feels like a meaty witbier. Moderately juicy. Solid but not overly complex. Orange peels. Cloves. Juicy Fruit. Cereal grains. Peppercorns. Big carbonation. Good full lager.
Can from Wegmans. Clear golden coloured, minimal head. Grainy, sweet, a bit grassy. Not much to it.
Pale golden straw colour. The nose is pretty bland. Light corn and some faint eatery sweetness. A bit of fruit and a touch of pepper. Meh - Inscrewed up. This is a pretty boring Lager.
16 oz can. Cloudy light gold color with a white head and good retention. Spotty lacing. Light body and light mouthfeel. No bitterness. Tastes like a light Helles. Clean and refreshing.
