I'd never heard of a "kentucky common" until Summit made one a few years ago. I'm sure that they're popping up all over the place, as trends trend to circulate around the country, and old styles get revived. Urban Growler in St. Paul has one that we tapped at Acadia (never took notes) and what do you know, Sisyphus did one, and I took notes on it. From Wednesday, August 5, at 1:40 A.M:



Sisyphus Kentucky Common. What's a Kentucky Common? Is it really from Kentucky, and is it all that common? Enquiring minds want to know. 5% ABV. 38 IBU.

Appearance: clear, reddish-brown, slim head.

Aroma: malty sweet, caramel and toffee. vanilla. light fruity esters.

Taste: Malt is on top here, too. Sweetness kept just at bay with all the right hops. A little herbal malt, more of the caramel. Dark fruits...

so what the heck is a "kentucky common"? It's kind of like a cream ale, and kind of like a steam beer, and what the hell, just check out wikipedia, they know everything....
