Bluegrass Mephistopheles Metamorphosis

Pour is yeasty for sure...golden yellow with a thin white head...smell is sweet and overpoweringly yeasty,,,sweet and yasty flavors....

(750ml bottle) Pours a hazy vastly particulate golden orange body with a moderate off-white head. Aroma of orange, coriander, and grass. Flavor of malt, spicy yeast, and hops.

What a name. Nose was cardomon and citrus. Alc on the nose. Flavour was very bready, with an overpowering carbonation

Bottle. Nose-rubbery, yeast, light orange yellow body with a patch of bubbles. Much, much too high CO2. Taste-vomit, soap, bile, acrid plastic, sugary, yeasty spiciness. Taste like an alka-seltzer with yeast. Awful.

Extremely hazy, yeasty yellow with lots of white on the return. Yeasty, lightly movie, plus cottage cheese. Effervescent alcohol.

04.28.06 750ml bottle. Picked this up in Lexington and was mostly pleased just to see a Kentucky brewery making an effort with their bottled stuff. Emormous head, the beer is clouded and particle laced. Big fruit and sweet esters on nose, much yeastiness, some cardboard and maybe background bandaid. Spiced throughout. Insanely dry beer and oxidized (in a papery-tasting way). Alcohol never makes a showing despite the big abv. Lots of eff.

From a 750 ml bottle purchased in Paducah. I saw a layer of sediment on the bottom that made me nervous, but I bought it anyway. This bottle is probably the worst gusher I have ever seen. The first pour yielded a bright slightly hazy gold body with a frothy slightly off white head. The aroma was earthy with figs, prunes, Colby cheese and some cinnamon. The taste had some sweet prunes with some cinnamon spice in the finish. There was also some rich caramel in the lingering taste. Not bad, but it could have been better. A little more dry with some more spice. Later pours were all cloudy and had a few chunks. As I drank some with the yeast in it, it began to taste like a brett infection. But it made the beer more interesting.

25 oz bottle - thanks Kevin!

When I first opened this, it became a huge gusher. First merely foam than a dirty chunk of yeast and then for at least ten more minutes nothing but white foam. Finally, after it subsided I poured some into my glass to discover even more foam - it was at least two-thirds foam and only one-third liquid. The aroma was quite pleasant with a mixture of bananas, spices, damp spring barnyard and cherries. It seemed promising until I took a sip and was assaulted by the yeast. The huge yeast cake must have broken up a bit because there was considerable sediment despite a careful pour. When my senses returned I was able to start detecting other flavors, primarily cherries and a peppery spice. Initially bitter, it soon become sour and then evolved to have a slightly sweet character. Overall a little bit of a disappointment. Perhaps when I visit the brewpub in Saint Matthews I will try this again to see how it compares on tap (sans sediment and yeast cake).
