Texas Best Smokehouse Sweet Honey Beef Jerky
The folks at Texas Best Smokehouse make a veritable cornucopia of meaty treats including an impressive array of jerky. Their Honey Bison Jerky was a clear favorite, so how does its beef counterpart stack up? Let’s see what you get with this one:
Taste (B+): This is some tasty jerky. While the name would suggest a predominantly sweet flavor, this jerky starts its work in your mouth with a kick of soy sauce and pepper. It’s a bit punchy. After a bit you register the taste of some quality, lean beef and the brown sugar sweetness that accompanies it. The balance isn’t what you’d expect, but it is very tasty.
Texture (A): The jerky is lean and moist, but still slightly tough. You’ll work a bit to tear off a bite but it chews easily and feels great.
Smell (B+): With a relatively low-key aroma, the scent of beef is intricately accompanied by a slightly peppery smell and combination of soy and brown sugar. It blends together pretty well and is generally enjoyable.
Appearance (A): This jerky is an exceptionally dark brown with only a slight redness and a distinctive sugary sheen. The pieces are cut along the grain and while a few of them are little more than a couple bites most are fairly substantial. It’s also distinctive that none of the pieces show any discernible straight edge cuts, really enhancing the natural look of this visually fantastic jerky.
Consistency (A): The folks at Texas Best Smokehouse didn’t leave anything to chance with this one. Every single bite was thoroughly tasty. The peppery kick and low-key sweetness are exacting throughout and the thickness was uniform without seeming mechanically so. It’s expertly well made stuff.
Overall Impression (A-): This jerky is a quality, tasty treat. The sweet beef flavor is good stuff, but the peppery kick is what you’ll remember. It’s a lean, delicious, expertly made jerky that’ll delight your mouth and leave you wanting more. Again it’s worth going out of your way to visit Texas Best Smokehouse to pick up a few bags of this delicious jerky of your own. Eat well!
