Commercial Description:
A light German-style ale indigenous to Koln (Cologne). This ale is treated like a lager, undergoing extensive cold aging to produce a clean, crisp beer. All imported Muessdoerffer Pilsen and Munich malts and hops from the Hallertau region lend a balanced flavor to this ale. 18 IBUs.

(Sample Date: 3/12/2009 Source:Capital Ale House - Innsbrook) Beer Dinner hosted by Taylor Smack. Touch of grain, light fruit sourness in aroma. Crystal clear golden with small rocky head. Light graininess in flavor. Light/medium body. Finish is mostly dry with light noble hop bitterness (all Hallertaur).

Bottle. Refreshing, crisp, great flavor, beautiful color, great aroma, but it did not finish well on the palate. Definitely a beer to add to one’s inventory.

This was purchased at the brewery on 3/18/09. They do not allow for mixed 6-pack purchases. I picked up this beer and some Full Nelson. The brewery is on a knoll overlooking Afton Mountain. This style is new to me. The hopping adds some bitterness that is found in pale ales. The beer poured with a nice frothy head and beautiful golden clear color. Smooth finish with some lingering bitterness. The malts are over shadowed by the hops. The Hallertau hops are a signature of Kolsch style ales.

draft at brewpub- wow- light, refreshing, and a nice dryness without any residual lagery sweetness that I find too often in this style. Quite nice.

7/20/08 - Light yellow and carbonic with white, lacing head. Nose is slight malt. Crisp, clean and refreshing with nice bitterness and mild hop flavor that lingers into the after. Great lacing. Could be the first kolsch I like.

On tap at the brewery, part of a sampler. Not my style, but a crisp, clean, clear, malty brew none the less.
