| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 29, 2008 pours pale yellow with some brown hues and a small white head. sweet grainy aroma combines with some fruit, grass, light yeast and floral. the flavor shares the same qualities... with the addition earthy hops and spice on the finish. there’s a bit of grass, grain and yeast in the aftertaste but that quickly disappears and leaves a clean palate. good easy drinker with some body and richness to it. bozokarl (7), Fairfield, Pennsylvania, USA does not count | 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 14, 2008 I drink this quite often at Brewers Alley.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | May 30, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a bright, clear golden-orange color; thin white head with patchy lacing. Light sugar, yellow fruits, and grains in the aroma; some cereal; kind of bland. Medium mouthfeel: chewy wet malts, toasty grains, and cereal; decent crispness and mineral bitterness; not exceedingly dense or strong hop character, but drinkable. Medium finish: cereal and toasty grains. guzzler67 (1289), Hanover, Maryland, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 27, 2008 Clear, pale gold appearance with a small white head and little lacing. Straw-like nose was quickly replaced by a sweet malty aroma. Mild, moderately sweet, low keyed hop taste. Light bodied, slightly bitter mouthfeel with no off flavors eaglefan538 (2405), Wilmington, Delaware, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 15, 2008 Pour from bottle, typical clear golden color, steady carbonation, head a little less than impressive given the fresh tap pours that are normally excellent in this style. The aroma was grainy, some fruit. The flavor followed with an added grassy hop touch in the finish. Amazingly fresh tasting Koelsch for a bottle, probably my best stateside example in a bottle. ¾ (5009), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 21, 2007 12oz bottle. Clear yelllow with a somewhat clingy white head. Decent enough nose of clean, fresh yeast esters - sharp and fluffy at the same time. Decently hopped nose with a base malt scent that is very clean and inoffensive. Crisp, fresh and lively flavor up front, a but destroyed by an unavoidable flavor of notebook paper and stale grains. The palate is very slick and wet and it ends so quickly, but I guess the light grassy notes in the finish make up for it somewhat, but there’s something not exactly right with the thickness and finish.
