20080715 12oz bottle from State Line. Deep golden color with smallish white head that does not last. Aroma is very malty, reminds of pretzels, a bit more hefty than I expected. Mouthfeel is medium-light with prickly eff, nice quick finish. Sweet, bready, pretzel-y flavors with some savory/herbal hoppiness emerging toward the back of the palate and with temp. Good enough and nicely quenching.

Aug 29, 2008 Courtesy of beachbum25. Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of pilsner malt, some fruit. Tastes of sweet malt, some spice, touches of bitterness. Enjoyable.

Aug 22, 2008 From draught sample at the brewpub. Has a mild sweet pilsner malt aroma, with light but fresh hoppy notes. Overall, a mild nose but pleasant. Pale golden-yellow clear, with thin white lacing head. Light watery body with medium carbonation. Light carbonic gaseousness. Starts fairly dry, with a snappy crisp bite. Fresh but thin, with mild hoppy bitterness in the finish over a very light malt sweetness. Fairly clean after. Light and refreshing. Bit of sour malt tang at the very last.

Jul 15, 2008 Pours a nice light to medium gold with nice carbonation and a fluffy white head which fades slightly. Aroma is doughy malts, but also a slight cara-pils malt sweetness which I dont particularly like in a kiolsch- light herbal hops as well. Flavor is crisp and clean with a bit of sweetness, light ale fruitiness, bready, light toasted bread, and a clean hop bitterness. Very refreshing, just a touch too sweet, and not enough pils malt breadiness.
