Jumping Cow Amber Ale -- Steinhaus Brewing (New Ulm, MN)
So much for being done with Trader Joe's (as I had recently promised) ... but I find it easiest to buy my beer as part of my weekly groceries. I think I really am done, at least with any further reviews, after yet another middle-of-the-road amber.
Characteristics: Pale copper color, medium carbonation and head, thin body, sharp bubbly start with a burnt toast middle and sugary finish.
Minor Gripes: Honestly, there's nothing that really stands out about this beer. It's not too bland, not too sharp, just present and somewhat accounted for.
Bottom Line: Jumping Cow is one of those beers that's fine to have in the fridge from time to time. It won't offend anyone, but it won't surprise them either.
Rating: 5 / 10

I think the one comment missing is smooth, which is what this beer is. I like it in a chilled glass on a warm saturday afternoon. I think at it's price point, it's more worthy of my hard earned dollars than some of the options at 3 or 4 dollars more per 6 pack.
