Black Lung Brewing Company Left Fork Kentucky Common Ale
What the brewers say
“Light and crushable with flaked maize, black malt, Noble hops.”
What our panel thought
“Opens with the aroma of a freshly cracked can of cola (with a hint of clove) in the fresh, damp undergrowth of a deep forest. A beautiful ride that includes a piney spritz and warmed graham cracker from the heat of a recently toasted marshmallow. Finishes dry and bitter.”
What our editors thought
“Slightly sweet corn note in the aroma with deeper toasted-bread and light lime highlights. Light tannic malt structure in the sip adds a pleasing spice to the deeper roast bitterness, while very light citrus and floral top notes offer an inviting character. Finishes cleanly and quickly, with a touch of lingering tannin more than bitterness.”
