The first brew produced by Alltech Lexington Brewing and Distilling Co.

Kentucky Ale® is described as a marriage between two classic beer styles, Irish Red Ale and English Pale Ale. With a light amber color, Kentucky Ale owes its body and character to select imported malts and a pinch of wheat malt for a rich, smooth taste.

Light amber in color, Kentucky Ale owes its unique body and character to select imported malts and a pinch of wheat malt for a rich, smooth taste.
The unique body and character of Kentucky Ale is heavily influenced by the water, drawn from aquifers in the limestone rock underlying the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky.

Slabe, przecietne amber ale. Lekko metne, ze srednia piana ale malo trwala. Lekko tez metne, praktycznie minimalnie. Kolor bursztynowy. W smaku slodowe ale umiarkowanie, bardzo delikatny aromat i rozwodniony nieco smak. Lekkie i pilane piwo.

Reviewed from notes. Consumed May 31st, 2013.
The appearance had a clear golden amber body with red/brown tints here and there, one finger white foamy head that quickly dies and leaves a bubbly film coating the top of the body, some sticky lacing graces the sides of the glass.
The smell had some bready, malty, strong scent of caramel.
The taste was sweet through the previously mentioned flavors, no aftertaste, dry finish.
On the palate, it sat light, sessionable, carbonation is spot on.
Overall, this is not a bad English pale ale and doesn’t get that \"soapiness\" some English Pales do, those who are normally turned off by the \"soapiness\" from English Pales could be pleased with this one, I would have this again.

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein bernsteinfarbenes Bier mit ordentlicher Schaumkrone. Geruch leicht röstmalzig, leicht fruchtig. Geschmack leicht säuerlich fruchtig, leicht röstmalzig, nicht besonders gut.
