Bluegrass Altbier

Brewed by Bluegrass Brewing Company
Style: Altbier
Louisville, Kentucky USA

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

Bluegrass Altbier is an amber color with a small head. The aroma is a bit malty with light floral notes. The flavor is well balanced with a great light finish.

Bottle. Finally got my hands on a fresh one. Sticky malt nose, dusty nutty aroma with roasted grain and resiny toffee and caramel. Some chocolate, as well. Clear, dark copper pour with a dense, rocky off-white head. Taste is lightly bitter and sweet, a smack of texture quickly drying to a nutty main. A dash of roasted malt with cookie dough and bread. Much more caramel and even a little butterscotch. Herbal spicy. Light body, crisp feel with a dry grassy ending (resembling other breweries’ Nut Browns, and even this brewery’s, which is much better). Not so much an Altbier as a cross between an American Amber and Brown.

12oz bottle notched BB D 07. Poured a medium amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, earthy, and toasted caramel. Tastes of caramel, light chocolate in the background, and some citrus.

12 oz, bb Mar 08. Aroma of cocoa and slight toffee. Flavor is cocoa and slight sourish berry, with a roasted nut and cocoa finish. Light-medium body is tingly and very well balanced between sweet and dry.

bottle - Pours amber with a one finger lingering head that laces nicely. The aroma is caramel malt and maybe a touch of spice. It tastes sweet and malty with some mild hops in the background. It’s another pretty average craft beer.
