Aug 3, 2009 Growler sample shared by shigadeyo.
Poured a hazy brown color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted and had good lacing. Good malty and earthy hop aroma. Medium body with sticky texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy earhty balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
Good session brew.

7/03/2009: Bluegrass Amber Waves of Pain reminds me of a hopped-up Stone Levitation Ale. This beer is dry and plenty hoppy. The earthy, resin, and deep bitter citrus peel flavors and accompanying bitterness really come through. It has a dry spicy finish. Even though there is no rye malt in this beer, it still reminds me a little bit of a weaker version of the BBC Rye 75. The appearance may need a little refinement since the murky bronze color isn’t overly attactive, but may the keg just needs more time to settle. Anyways, is is topped by a frothy dark beige crown. This is a very sessionable beer.
Draught (growler) at Party Town in Florence, Kentucky. Rating #8 for this beer.

Aug 17, 2008 Aroma of paper and corn. Deep amber pour with off white head and lace. Clean light malt almost no bitter. Thin and foamy. Drinkable is what it is.

Jul 31, 2008 (Cask) This was out of the regular tap, and being the bartender’s favorite, had a little left on cask and was nice enough to pour a large sample glass for me. Pours a hazy deep amberish orange. The nose is massive, loads of citrus and melon rinds and grapefruit. Just a virtual smorgasbord of hoppiness. Alovely beer that is a pleasure to drink and is gone way too soon.

Jul 25, 2008 On tap at brewpub. Hazy nut-brown pour with a good head and lace. The head even had a slight green tint to it, which I assume is because it was fresh and very recently dry-hopped. The aroma was very potent - a bit of amber malt and a TON of resinous hops. The flavor was the exact same. These both came as surprises to me because I have never encountered an amber ale that has much hops at all, let alone the onslaught that this one exhibited. Medium bodied and smooth with minimal carbonation and a dry hop finish. Overall: this was a very pleasant surprise.
