Blue Grass and High Times

Looks good, eh?

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.
