Just in time for the classic Breeder's Cup inaugural visit to central Kentucky, the West Sixth brewers devise an bold brown ale to commemorate the occasion and to put a little hop in your step too.
Breeder's Cup Brown pours the expected dark, bark-brown color with light haze and a sturdy foam cap. While toasty, coffee-like aromas swirl to the nose, so does a healthy heaping dose of citrusy, piney, and grassy pacific northwest hops. As the ale greets the tongue though, its the taste of toast, dark chocolate, burnt caramel and coffee that frame the early portions of taste.
But in true American ale fashion, the sweetness is fast-fleeting and the drier, earthier tastes set up camp on the middle palate, showing cold-press coffee, burnt toast, over-cooked caramel, walnut, cocoa and a hint of campfire in emboldened waves of flavor. Its balance of citrus peel hinges on burnt grapefruit and orange with a prairie fire finish.
Grassy, piney and sharply resinous, the ale trends dry and nearly roasted late to give fans of IPA something to cheer about. Medium-bodied but dominated by hops, the ale leaves lighter impressions that is actual, along with a long linger of burnt pinecone and citrus peel.
