Michelob Jack's Pumpkin Spice Ale:Well, I'll be schnookered. This isn't what I expected, really. Of course it is what I should have expected. the good-natured visage of Jack (at least I think that's the name of the friendly pumkin-headed gent on the label) and the "Pumpkin Spice" moniker whould have one believe that he or she is in for a dessert-like beverage. No, it's not a latte. This is a Michelob ale with a fairly subtle evenly spiced pumpkin flavor.
Can I make a confession? I... I like Michelob. Really. Even though it comes from a soulless giant brewery, I would consider Mich the shining star of their product offering. This is a pretty darn good beer. Actually, it's not in the upper echelon of Pumpkin ales but it respectable beyond a shadow of a doubt. Not the smoothest or the pumkiniest but Jack's Pumpkin Spice Ale has more body than some of the other brews I've had. Not extraordinary in any real way but certainly more than ordinary. Worth a taste, for sure. Any Michelob drinker will be digging it.
If Post Road is a bit much in the pumkin department but too thin in the body, Jack's PSA is a must-try.
