Original Beef Jerky by Country Archer, 100% Grass-Fed, Gluten Free, 16 Ounces

awesome jerky little too much pepper flavor for my taste over powered the delecious tender jerky

This is my first time getting Country Archer jerky and I have to say I was very impressed. This is a great beef jerky which is as full of flavor as a mass produced jerky can get. I've tried all kinds of jerky like Jack Link's, Old Wisconsin or Chef's Cut, but Country Archer original flavor edged them out by a bit.First of all, consistency or feel of the jerky when you actually eat it. This jerky is not as tough as Jack Link's (which is nice if you want something to really chew on for a bit) or as chewy as Chef's Cut (which feels less like jerky and more like cold lean stake). But Country Archer has a nice balance between tough and chewy, this means you can chew on it for a bit to get full flavor or just eat it easily as any other snack.Second, I love the 16oz package and the price is reasonable for the amount you get.Third, the actual jerky pieces tend to be in consistently bite sized shapes. I don't have to worry about pulling out a monster sized one or tiny pieces that slip from between my fingers whenever I pull one out of the bag without looking.Last, but certainly not least, the flavor. The flavor is actually relatively simple but it has some smokiness to it, as any jerky should, which is why I actually like it. The taste is not too overpowering and doesn't linger in your mouth for too long so you can use this jerky as a nice addition to almost any beverage of your choice (both alcoholic and not).In conclusion, Country Archer is a great jerky which allows you to get your money's worth. I would put this jerky high on your list if you're looking for a snack to eat while you're watching something. Or if you just want something that's not too tough to chew on while you're working (it's not oily or fatty so you do not have to worry about sticky fingers).PS: According to the packaging it does have 5g of sugar per serving, so for those who want to avoid all carbohydrates in your diet, you might want to keep looking.

it taste good

It tastes great, it's not like shoe leather, nor is it too moist. It tastes like fresh ingredients with a sweet spicy taste. I put mine in the refrigerator, but it's probably unnecessary. It probably won't last long. My dog knows the minute I open the bag. So I have to share.

This Jerky came highly rated from a friend. Freshness and quality is Great but the initial tase is kind of funky. After the first few bites it is OK. Not sure it suits my personal taste. Should try if you are a jerky Person but not sure it will be your favorite? Maybe another flavor?
