No, this is not an ad for NORML. It is, however an ad for Bluegrass Brewing Company of Louisville, KY. Their Amber Ale is a German-style Altbier and a tasty one at that. It’s clear and amber with consistent carbonation and a whispy head. There’s a touch of carmel in the bouquet, and it is a clean-smelling beer. Not like soap, but just fresh and crisp. It is bright and light on the tongue, mildly bitter with a grainy quality in the finish, followed by a little dryness. It is light-textured but not weak. If you go to Louisville, visit one of their two locations, pick up a growler, a bottle or a 6-pack. You won’t be disappointed. I will review more of their brews soon.
