Appearance: Hazy, saddle brown with fluffy off-white head exhibiting good head retention. No visible carbonation.
Smell: Mild floral notes.
Flavor & Aftertaste: Semi-sweet, with spicy notes. Moderate level of bitterness.
Mouth-Feel: Medium bodied. Moderate length finish, with bitterness that lingers a bit.
Overall: This is actually a very unusual, historical style - Kentucky Common. Almost a lost style. Consider it a dark, cream ale as it it made with ale yeast and served young. I talked with the staff about it because it was so unusual. It's made with two row (instead of six row) barley, Carapils and corn grits. Hopped with Hallertau Magnum hops. Don't let the corn grits scare you, this is a pre-prohibition style and quite common back during that time. Visually, it is not the prettiest looking beer due to its saddle brown color and cloudiness. It is quite sweet, but has a very good balance of bitterness. Some might think it too bitter, but I did not find it approaching West Coast IPA level at all and the bitterness seemed quite appropriate for the level of sweetness. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope they bring it back again next year.
