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.

Draft at the brewery: poured clear light yellow with a small white head. Light fruit aroma with a bit of hops. Flavor is mildly fruity with a light corn finish. Crisp and refreshing.

Mild honey-biscuit-toast malt, mild hoppiness, some spice in the finish. Overall...mild. Not to much to say about it.

a clear yellow pour, this beer is a bit light on flavor. I’ve certainly had better examples of the style.

Light golden pour with small white head that diminished quickly. Aromas of malt and light in the hops. Flavor is crisp and clean with good balance of malt and hops. Not a great beer, but pretty true to style.

This is a crunchy one. The grains are evident from the nose to the tongue. The pour left a nice frothy head, like the cream sitting above lemon merengue pie. Some aroma of hay and lemon, with the flavor of cheerios. Finish was mild, as hop levels are muted. Clean, clear and refreshing.

Nice mellow light dough taste with mellow yeastiness and a light straw taste that’s clean clear, crisp and refreshing. Man, I could drink a bunch of these.

Very clear medium gold with a fleeting wisp of head. The beer was just put on and the brewer said he needed to up the carbonation, so that part may change for others. The malt flavor is surprisingly strong, a little bread in with the straw here. This makes for a better taste, but perhaps makes it a little less drinkable and less crisp. Light bitterness in the finish.

Draft, shaker glass. Grain, light bread malt (L); earthy hops (VL). Pale gold body with a quickly diminishing frothy, white head. Moderately sweet flavor becomes a lightly sweet, lightly bitter finish. Grainy finish, but on par with other Kolsch's I've had. Light body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: it doesn't rock my world but it makes for a decent enough session.
