Commercial Description:
In Köln, they drink it in little 0.2 liter glasses and they drink it fast. Our's is brewed in the traditional style with imported Kölsch yeast, a touch of Vienna and wheat malt and Hallertau hops. It has a light, quenching mouthfeel with a grainy, delicately bitter finish.

This has all the aspects of a German style lager, but none of the aspects that I look for in a Kolsch, even if it is a "kolsch style," this does not hit the mark for me. Flavor is really clean, with some spicy saaziness. Overall a pretty marginal offereing for a place from what I have seen has great beer. This one should go back to the drawing borad.

Draught @ brewery A very clean light lager, but missing the typical Koelsch attributes of a soft flowery aroma and grainy flavor. this is too smooth but a good beer if a bit nondescript.

This beer is a clear amber, not pale at all, so it looks like real beer. Aroma is scanty. Flavor is hoppy and zingy with some fruit hints. Very smooth and pleasant, it has a bit of a bite but is not nasty. If you prefer mild ales, you may like this one.

Clear gold, thin creamy white head. Nose held grassy notes, fruity and peppery tones, with a light breadiness late. Similar flavor that was grassy and peppery hops up front, very crisp throughout, and a light earthiness that rounds it out. Light bodied, medium carbonation, light fruity finish. Thirst quenching that was a nice example of the style…

A light colored beer with the standard yellow appearance and little head. A nice malt presence in the flavor and little bit on the sweet side. This is good for a lawnmower beer.
