On tap at Bottlemixx on 2/13/13.

According to the description this beer is made from an all-NC grain bill, and it's "quick-aged" in Maker's Mark barrels. Nicknamed the "Kentucky Common".

A - dark brown with a tall off white head that had great retention

S - The nose is pretty faint; I do catch some sour notes as well as some faint malt notes

T - tart, creamy, woody, maybe some light caramel and nuttiness, warming alcohol in the finish

M - smooth, crisp, well carbonated

The maltiness of this beer reminds me a bit of their Working Man's Lunch. It even has a bit of the same creaminess that the yeast lends to that brew. The sour tartness is pleasant and easy to drink without being over the top. My only real complaint is that the flavors didn't blend as well as I would have liked. Nonetheless, this is a pretty creative beer that is definitely worth trying.

Serving type: on-tap
