650ml bottle - classified as such because Kentucky Common is not (yet) recognized on this site.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some melting iceberg profile lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, cornbread, some indistinct pome fruitiness, a bit of earthy yeast, and very, very faint leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, subtle corn chip notes, dried apple skin, some ephemeral yeastiness, a wisp of estery smoke, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-prodding frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and not particularly smooth, as an uncertain acerbity starts to trickle in once things warm up a tad around here. It finishes trending dry, the (hop?) bitterness getting the better of any lingering malt aspirations.
Overall - I'm not exactly sure what the appeal of this kind of beer is supposed to be, as, like its West Coast cousin, I just can't seem to cotton to them. There's nothing off or wrong with this offering, but the arrangement of flavours leaves me wanting. Wanting what, I don't really know.
