Overall, the sampler was pretty good. I enjoyed trying the different flavors, except for one. The Hot & Smoky was just too much. I like hot food, and I don't mind a little mouth burn, but when there are red pepper flakes crusted to the outside of a piece of jerky, beware. Think of it like this, shake some red pepper flakes in to your hand and start chewing, and chewing, and chewing. Maybe even add in a dash of hot sauce and some liquid smoke. My point is, that it's not really too hot, but in my opinion it is too hot to chew and chew and chew.
As I mentioned, all of the other flavors were tasty, and I like the firm texture of the jerky as well. I'll buy again, just not the hot & spicy.
I bought this stuff in a little store on a trip to Massachusetts last year. It was the best jerky I've ever had. Unlike seemingly most other jerky, it's not sickly sweet. The flavor is great. I like my jerky thin and on the drier side, and this stuff is perfect that way. I looked up the company when I got back home and was happy to see that they sell it online. Now that I can get it on Amazon, I've always got a stash of it.
I like the smoke flavors. Jerky is hard and dry which I like. Most jerkies are soft and suede like so if that's what you're after then move along now. Good texture. I am not a fan of the hot flavors. I'm not sure if it was just the first piece or if I'm starting to tolerate it, but holy moly, it was hot.
I bought these for a festival out in the woods where I needed some sustenance for 5 days. They were all amazing. The hot and smokey one is insanely hot though and had to be eaten a little at a time. I am definitely going to purchase the 2 other smokey flavors when they come back in stock.
Sent directly to my son as a gift. Dorm living was greatly improved. He said he loved them.

Like the jerky from its sister company, Naked Cow, Appalachian Jerky is fantastic. Try all the flavors from both jerky lines and pick your favorite. A wonderful, healthy snack.
Pretty good Jerky, one of my top 3 on Amazon for sure. If you like the steak bite, greasy stick type jerky this may not be for you. If you like more thin strip style jerk, you should give this a try. I would Have liked to have seen larger strips rather than many small chopped up pieces, but you can definitely taste the garlic and teriyaki in each tiny bite. Packaging is just right for those on the go.
I got a craving and bought a ton of beef jerky on Amazon. pretty much every beef jerky option on Amazon. and out of all of them, these were my favorite. I'm not a beef jerky expert at all but you get a great variety and a good amount in each bag.
It was okay, but all the flavors tasted pretty similar. I think I'll stick to other jerkys.
Great Beef jerky. The hot one is the hottest jerky I have ever had (I like spice) and the sweet ones are really good as well. Already bought a second time.
