Jack's Abby Sunny Ridge

This aromatic lager features a sunshine hue, herbal noble hop 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.

3.4 Poors pale straw, slightly hazy. Aroma malty, even reminiscent of some wheat, citruss, hoppy. Taste sweetish, malty with loads of citrussy, tropically, fruity hops, bitter. Aftertaste dry and lingering. Medium MF. Crisp. Very tasty, hoppy lager.

3.7 A style I've never loved, but keep trying. This is one of the better ones as I expected by how much I enjoy their lagers. Pours golden with a finger of white top. Aromas are nice buiscuity malt with the hop/pepper of the style that I don't much like. Flavor follows similarly. Not bad

3.5 16 ounce can. Pale yellow gold color. Frothy white head with decent lacing. Light sweet grainy malt nose. Notes of corn and sweet citrus. Sweet bready malt flavor. Tangerine, hay, lemon and honey. Crisp, semisweet finish with a touch of citrus hops.

3.4 16 oz can bought in NH. Cloudy pale yellow color with a white head and great retention. Minimal lacing. Good sweet pale malt taste. Low bitterness. Not crisp (for the style). Decent beer, but not much of a pilsener.

3.7 Neon yellow like my pee pee. Smells like beer, some malty bread and a thin floral hint. It also tastes like beer, a little light lemon and wheat, pleasant, refreshing. It is bright, easy going, chuggable. One of the better pils out there and another feather in the cap for Jack’s Abby, the lager saviors of new england. Good for a stinky butt Monday with your cutie cute where you make mac n cheese, listen to the Best Show, and send love to the ppl in Tejas.

3.2 Apparence : Dorée translucide, léger col blanc, rétention faible, carbonatation plutôt faible et lente. Nez : Malt aux légères notes de grain frais, houblon floral et fruité (agrumes), peu d’intensité. Goût : Épicée dès l’entrée, la finale présente des notes plus variées de malt mielleux, légèrement sur les grains, de houblons à l’aspect d’agrumes et d’herbes avec l’amertume qui accompagne le tout. Sensation : Corps assez léger, effervescence effacée par la sensation épicée des houblons, finale sèche. Bref : Hallertau Mittelfruh ou Saaz? Les notes herbacées en finale me font pencher vers l’allemand, mais l’abondance des épices me laisse plutôt croire à une double utilisation. Quoiqu’il en soit, les houblons volent la vedette au malt qui se trouve à être moins bien développé que les premiers. Belle sécheresse en finale.

5.0 16 oz can on August 10,17. A well done Pilsner. Great balance of malts and hops. Refreshing with a slightly bitter hop finish.

4.0 can to glass. aroma of honey accented malts . clear golden with white head. flavor quite malty for pilsener but nice hop balance in there- grassy and herbal. moderate carb, medium body. quite tasty.

3.2 On tap at the brewery. Clear golden. Smells of bready malt, a little bit of doughy sweetness, and some spicy hops. A hint of corn. Tastes of grainy malt. Again, a little corn. Faint earthy hop. Low bitterness. Light body. Easy drinking and well made, but not something that stands out.

1.8 Ehhh. Nothing special. I’m no conosuire, I just like trying different (lighter colored) beers. I love Belgians, saison, some lagers and pilsners. lt’s just an ok beer. Did nothing for me. light sweetness, lightly bitter,

3.6 Nice pilsner. A little on the malty side, but good.....................................................

3.4 Can (Feb 27, 2020 canning). Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is light to medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers), with a light note of honey. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Much better batch than one I rated 3 years ago (which was 1.7 quality). Kind of simple but pleasant and enjoyable.

2.6 Pours a clear yellow with a thick white head. Nose is slight citrusy hops. Light body. Taste is dominated by the hops with slight citrus and a bitter aftertaste. Rather nondescript. 16 oz can

2.9 Clear straw, tall white head. Light body, simple and limited flavor, high carbonation but low heat, average length, clean finish. Very bitter, dry. Austere flavor profile, predominantly bittering hops, discrete malt background. Very refreshing, German style pils.

3.1 On tap at BGH. Not as bad as the rating would indicate. Pours a clear golden amber. Slightly funky on the nose. Mild bodied with a bit of hops. Smooth drinking but nothing special.

3.9 On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with a medium sized white head. Soft citrus and dusty crackers on the nose, a hint of floral hops. Medium bodied, grain, sweet and crisp. Lively grain, clean and vibrant into the finish. Slow crisp grain, softly snappy bite. Lovely and incredibly drinkable.

4.0 Crisp clean, nice toasted grain and restrained yet pleasant bitter quality that lingers. Chuggable.

3.7 Can at home for end of sox cards game nice classic pils and the beer helped fuel sox comeback to tie at least. Fine golden color nice puffy white head. Nose is floral and light citrus. Tastes of grass, floral, hint of citrus, light malt and touch of fruity sugars. Straight up

3.7 Lemon, honey aroma. Hint of a pine or grassy aroma. Clear golden color with bright white head. Bready and tart flavor, crisp with dry finish. Hips are subtle more hop flavor at beginning and lemony, citrus finish. Medium to full body for pilsner. Crisp refreshing summer lager.

2.9 Backlog, ocena przepisana z untappd, w ramach uzupełniania profilu na ratebeer.

3.3 12oz bottle. split a couple of ways. A little hazy, dark orange, 1 finger yellow tan head. light aroma, there’s a bread dough and pepper spice nose here. hmmm, it’s a sweet cookie like finish with tropical fruit, persimmon, mint and sweet orange peel. spicy but overall hops are faded.

3.3 12oz bottle shared by Chalumeaux. Thanks, TJ! Pours pale yellow gold with a white head. Aroma is grass, light grains. Flavor is earthy saaz hops over light grains, honey.

3.7 Poured from bottle clear golden color with a fluffy white head. Aromas of straw grass hay grain and lager yeast. Taste is nice light floral notes of grain honey and balanced yeast.

4.2 Light wet wheat aromas soft and perfume. Hazy gold with very light white head. Very smooth big grains mellow light yeast.

3.0 Pale yellow pour with aroma of grain, grass, and some lemon. Grain flavor with grass, and lemon sweetness. Decent beer.

3.2 12 oz bottle poured into mug. Cloudy light yellow with decent white head and grassy aroma. Medium body and light carbonation. Grassy hops with citrus notes flavor. Medium bitter hops finish trailing off into lingering malt.

3.9 light color of golden honey with good very white, soft and durable foam. clean smell, a bakery, a sweet malty, toasted and graininess. Flavor combination of the sweetish subtlety of malts and hops soft fresh herbal and fruity nuances. Very light, fresh and clean indeed. Soft body, not much carbonated, maybe some water but fine.

3.8 Bottle. It pours a pale yellow color with a clear white head. The aroma has fresh herbal lemongrass, grass and a little spice. The flavor has spicy noble hops, herbal notes and grass. Very hoppy with strong spicy bitterness. Pale malt plays a supporting role. Very clean. Great stuff.

3.4 Golden color with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of straw, toast, grains, grassy hops. Taste of grains, dough, lemon, grassy hop finish

3.0 Clear golden coloured body with a decent, three centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of bitter pungent malt, earth, funk and a lot of bitterness. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive funky bitterness from the malt and a good deal of metal. Some rather deep notes later on with the malt front and centre and very little else. Aftertaste shows a light fruity sweetness with a grain and deeper malt finish. Overall, a decent, at best, beeer with it pretty much falling well short of what I was expecting of it. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Union Square), New York on 30-May-2016 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 13-July-2016.
