Release #2 in the Justice Series. 22 oz bottle. Golden pour. Head is initially good but fades badly. Light syrup mouthfeel as one would expect. Noble-like hop bitterness, but the alcohol and the malt base comes through quite strongly. Some syrupy...
Pink/orange pour. Raspberry nice on the nose. The beer suffers a little from what has become an American problem, the confusion of sour and funk. These are NOT the same things. To be fair, the issue here is with the fruit. It will add a degree of...
22 oz bottle. Very sweet and smokey. Bourbon low key and nicely put together. Reminds me a LOT of their Breakout Stout and to the extent that I wonder if that is the base beer for this. VERY smooth, and not because of the bourbon, rather because of...
Described as a ‘Golden Ale’ on the bottle, I am wary of such a bland and non-descript title. I suppose it’s a Belgian inspired beer? We’ll see. 22 oz bootle with a high head initially. Complete clarity. Yeasty tastes - good. Sweet up front, drier...
The pour is a viscous, black with a slightly orange colored head. Ostensibly, all the prerequisites of a RIS are there, but the beer never reaches the kind of crescendo that often comes with thistle. It's actually very reserved. Extremely light...
GREAT! A simple beer that does what it says on the label - imagine that! A nice, deep colored brown ale with some reddish highlights. A really nice white head that has some easy-going lace and some creamy retention. Nose has a lovely dose of...
32 oz growler from Hop City, Atlanta, GA. Here's a note at Jailhouse's website. Very clear, quite highly carbonated, golden body with a lot of clarity. This is very 'light' in terms of appearance and color in the glass. Very modest, bubbly head...
Part of the solitary confinement series. I had a few conversations with various folk about the type of Barleywine I could expect, American or English. More than one person suggested that I could expect to find a hybrid. I think they were wrong. In...
Ahhh, dammit. Such a shame. This beer looks absolutely spectacular when poured into the Tucher Weizen, half-liter glass. The natural light shows a beautiful burgundy color, with a decent tan head and some truly rich hues. It looks great....
Delighted to see a Berliner Weisse. Not really that I'm an especially big fan of the style, but high quality beer of any type under 5.0% ABV is just so difficult to come by in the USA, that almost anything is welcome. 32 oz growler from Hop City,...
Very light, straw colored pour. Actually the beer is incredibly pale, almost to macro, low quality standards. Not necessarily an issue, but it really isn't the best looking pilsner that I've seen by quite some distance. The hue is certainly not the...
I'm always very excited to try the latest Jailhouse offering, and this is no exception. I wonder if the pun inspired the beer, or if the style came first? 32 oz growler from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Bière de Gardes can have a wide range of...
I had this a long time ago (almost immediately after it came out) and was somewhat disappointed. As I was passing through the Olde Crabapple Bottle Shop a couple of days ago, I saw it and thought it time to re-visit the beer to see if a little age...
Surprised to find this at Hop City on Friday. I didn't even realize this was coming out as the next beer in the Solitary Confinement series. Not a favorite style of mine, so we'll see. Described as an Imperial Pale Ale (not IPA) on the label; not...
Bought a growler of this a few weeks ago but left it in my brother-in-laws fridge by mistake. This is on tap at Taco Mac, Prado, Sandy Springs/Atlanta, GA. Had a few 16 oz glasses. Understated, subtlety in a glass - it'll be largely wasted on the...
On tap at Taco Mac, Metropolis, Atlanta, GA, USA. $6.00 for 16 oz. Solid black pour with a small, creamy, taupe colored head that produces a persistent, one-eighth of an inch, creamy layer that sits for ages. The lace is nice, and coating, which...
More Jailhouse goodness? I hope so. Not sure if 'plea ale' is a play on words (pale ale), but from the tap handle it looks like this might be branded as a 'fresh/wet hop' IPA. We'll see. All the initial indications suggest that is the case, with a...
Jailhouse's collaboration with O'Dempsey's and that makes me a little nervous because it brings together a brewer that I have been incredibly impressed with (Jailhouse), along with one that has done largely the opposite for me. Reddish, mahogany...
The third bottled release in the Solitary Confinement series (assuming this is in that series) after Midnight Special and Reprieve, this beer gets back to the really excellent product that Glenn has been producing in Hampton, GA after the mildly...
So, I had heard about the new limited, special series that Glenn at Jailhouse was going to release and this one popped up at Green's on Buford yesterday. $8.99 for the large (bomber like) bottle. Part of the new, Solitary Confinement Series; Cool!...
Wow, I really, really, really like this beer. Pour is a mid-orange/copper with nice clarity, a little chill haze and a head that although present, could be better - HOWEVER, I watched the bar staff at Taco Mac pour this, and know that they did not...
Very surprised to come across this - I hadn't heard that this was out, but delighted to try in when I took a break from the Atlanta Cask Ale tasting by slipping into the bar at Taco Mac, Prado with the wife. Pour was a dark brown affair that was...
22 oz bottle from Hop City, GA, USA. Nice presentation, I like the artwork, and having been to the brewery it certainly is in keeping with the branding that they are looking for. I first tasted this beer way back in February or march of this year...
Drunk at the brewery just a few days after the first batch was brewed. (This was brewed for the first time in April 2010, but will eventually become a winter seasonal according to JBC). Classic, black pour with a few reddish highlights in the...
