The Left Hand Brewing Company out of Longmont, Colorado, brings us Jackman's American Pale Ale. Jackman's pours a lovely golden amber color with a nice creamy head. There's a little bit of fruit on the nose along with hop bitterness. There is a lot of bitter hop up front which sort of mellows out to reveal a little lightly toasted malt and yeast. My first impression of this beer is that it's over-hopped. That isn't necessarily about quantity, but about balance. And this beer is a little unbalanced. But, hop crazy beers seem to be in fashion, so if you like those you would like this. Otherwise this is a straight up well crafted ale. O.K. but not exciting, this is really what a standard mass market beer should be but isn't. The name is a little suspect to me .Jack man, Than a left hand reference, weird.
