Kuka Banana Nut Brown Ale

Kuka is a new brewery based in Rockland County New York.  This brewery uses old Andean brewing techniques of using Maca Root and other exotic adjuncts to help smooth the profile of the beer.  The brewery currently has two levels of brews, high gravity and low gravity (higher ABV and lower ABV) beers.  Some stand out beers from KUKA is the Banana Nut Brown Ale which has a nice earthy brown ale malt profile but nice notes of banana which are not overly sweet at all, very enjoyable.  They also have a notable Imperial Rye IPA which weighs in at 9.4% ABV and you could mistake this beer for 5% its so smooth.  Be sure to keep and eye out for this upcoming brewery as they plan on impressing us with more beers such as their Pumpernickel Ale coming soon.
