ABV: 4.5%
Source: Wild Card Brewery, Walthamstow
Price: Unknown (received as a Christmas gift set of four Wild Card Beers)
Having visited the Wild Card brewery a few times previously this seemed a well thought out gift. The Jack of Clubs, not one of their styles I've tried previously, is a dark red Ruby ale with a short lived aftertaste of spiced hops. The initial body is very malty and smooth, not personally to my taste but thankfully it fades quite quickly rendering it pleasant enough to finish.
I don't see this beer as particularly distinctive or stand out in any way and such I'm struggling to add many more words to this review. If you like malt and spice to form the core of your beer experience the Jack of Clubs will likely be your kind of tipple, but for me there's just not enough going on here.
Wild Card describe the beer to have grassy aromas and digestive biscuit flavour - Two things which, the lack of occasion of, speak for themselves for this beer.
The score:
1.5 beers out of 5
