There’s no beer style that’s more quintessential Kentucky. Burl Brewer embraces the state’s brewing heritage with the Kentucky Common famed by tales of Daniel Boone.
Pouring a deep honey amber color, 1800 sheds a creamy but light and scattered froth and a scent of cereal, toasted bread, nuttiness, cola and light Belgian-like spice. Sweeter once on the tongue, simple syrups link with honey, toast and nuttiness for a sweet and savory upstart.
As the flavors roll along the middle palate, its sweetness relaxes and its bubbles escape to allow the ale to take on a flat cola-like taste and texture. Light yeast spice hit the hops for a lightly bittered finish with hints of stone fruit, clove and cola moving forward.
Medium bodied and falling slightly flat in finish, these are common hallmarks for the common ale as these historic styles sometimes leave the palate wanting more while representing the style reasonably well.
