21st Amendment Dähm Kölsch

very crisp. has that defining lager taste to me. golden/straw color. solid job and served in the correct glass too.

Clear bright yellow with a fizzy white head. Clean malty aroma. Bready slightly fruity taste.

Pours effervescent pale golden with a thin white head. Clean, dry hops and bready malt in the nose and flavor. Quite easy drinking and enjoyable.

Draught at the brewpub, served in a seven ounce kölsch glass. Pretty cool that they put it in the smaller glass and charge half price, as it keeps a cold beer in front of you more of the time. Not that they invented that concept, but not very many brewpubs put that much thought into their glassware selection. Light gold with a white head. The aroma is sweet and grainy with light floral touches and some bread. Light on the palate with some bready malt, delicate floral hops and a crisp, clean finish. Pretty spot-on for what i always think of the style as. Interesting enough to drink a few, and light enough to not tire you in the process.

On tap. Clear yellow with a a small, creamy white head leaving laces. Clean malty nose. Medium body with clean malts, some sulphur and a dry, hoppy finish. 100709

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is dry malty with a crisp hops note. Subdued malt sweetness. Ends dry and crisp bitter/hoppy. Very authentic.
