Commercial Description:
Kentucky Ale is a marriage between two classic beer styles, Irish Red Ale and English Pale Ale. The Kentucky Ale mashing program uses: • the finest 2-row imported Harrington malt, • select caramel malt varieties grown both domestically and abroad, • a pinch of wheat malt for a smooth, creamy taste. Varieties of the English hops East Kent Goldings and Fuggles impart a spicy yet soft, floral aroma without a harsh, bitter aftertaste. These ale hops are used to balance the sweetness of the malt and are an important flavor component of Kentucky Ale. Light copper in color, the unique body and character of Kentucky Ale is heavily influenced by the water, drawn from aquifers in the limestone underlying the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky.

Shared with Juart from a trade with Aknud. A clear amber color with a small fizzy white head that was gone by the time I described it. Nose is a little caramel apple and some corn. A little bit of toffee/caramel flavor, but not much. Probably would have been better fresh. Very little carbonation, but not completely thin.

Bottle (330ml). Shared with blankboy and garthicus, via trade with acknud. Clear light amber, average white head. Lightly papery aroma of apple malt and dry flowers. Taste is buttery candy apple, slightly bitter in the finish. Light, syrupy body, slick and still, stale caramel in the linger. Meh.

This is a weird beer. Bottle thanks to Acknud. Pours a golden color with barely any head. It is almost odorless and flavorless. I do taste slight malts...but nothing esle. Very odd indeed!

12oz bottle-pours a thin white head and gold color. Aroma is mild sweet grain. Taste is sweet grain/medium malt, secondary hops bite. Nice easy drinking.

Definitely best on top in a clear dixie cup. Nice dark golden colour and thin but lingering head. Malty, light sweetness, clean yet creamy finish. Not a beer to impress with, but exceptionally drinkable and far better than anything else in its price range. ($1.50 - $2 a pint locally).

This beer pours a decent orangeish golden colour with a small head that quickly dissapears. it has a semi sweet mouth feel with a nice touch of hops at the end.
