This Kolsch style beer has a fizzy, rather large head, white in color with fair lacing and an average to long longevity. Straw colored is a very true description of its hue, yet slightly cloudy/hazy. No particles present and average carbonation. Light malt character with a sweet bread smell. Very light hop aroma with a hint of citrus and a sweet barn aroma. A mild banana scent was also noticed. The alcohol was undetectable. Flavor is smooth, sweet and light with lots of carbonation and a very mild bitter finish. A light astringincy was also noticed. The overall view was that this would be a good session beer. It tastes better than it smells (like cheap light beer). Would be easy to drink in larger amounts. Also would be a good craft brew starter beer for the typical macro-brew light beer drinker.

Tasted 5/13/08. 12oz bottle. Huge pillowy head. Hazy with a golden straw hue. Super lively. Mild yeasty doughy citrus aroma. Touch bready and caramel. Big effervescence. Light bodied and mildly tart. Touch appley. Citrus and bitter, yet crisp. Mild malts. Not bad, just slight.

12oz bottle, no date. Clear straw with a big three finger white head, good retention. Aroma of light lemon pulp and light sweet malts--pretty faint. Flavor is lemon again with some cheap sweet malts and cereal grain. No bitterness in the finish. Overcarbonated? You betcha. Probably about as bad as a room temperature Unibroue (the carbonation)--maybe not that bad. Watery body. Pretty much an all-around suckfest of a beer.
