Mr. Jackpots

Sold in 473mL cans that, for some reason, remind me of the album art of Traffic’s 1971 album “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys”, Mr. Jackpots is a 6% IPA brewed with Centennial and Idaho 7 hops. Brewed in Toronto by Rainhard Brewing, Mr. Jackpots is a hazy, dull gold ale with a covering of off-white suds.

Mr. Jackpots has pineapple and mango aromatics, with a dusting of citrus bitterness. The beer has a mellow texture and a flavour that blends tropical and citrus fruit. There is limited bitterness, but lots of juicy, dry-hopped flavour.

If I were in charge, I’d have liked Mr. Jackpots to have been a little higher octane, but the flavour was definitely enjoyable and the texture was nice. I ordered an octet of these little beauties and I was a bit wistful when I put the last one in the fridge, which I take as a good sign that I’d buy this little ale again.
