| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 23, 2007 On tap-Maryland Brewer’s Oktoberfest. Clear Golden color w/a slight white head. Sweet malt flavor w/a touch of grass flavor. Traces of hops, lemon, citrus, & fruit. Taste kind of wandered around; wasn’t too crazy @ this one. Seemed to lack a definite flavor or style.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 26, 2007 Medium gold with a slight green tint. Malty, nutty-sweet aroma. Dry, slightly tart, strong first impression of malt biscuits or ceral. Medium bittering. Excellent balance, good rendering of one of my least favorite styles. Enjoyed on a sunny July evening on tap at the brewpub in Frederick. chriso (4796), London, Greater London, England
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 24, 2007 Draught, at the brewpub, July 2006. Pale gold colour. Clean and fresh but with a touch of sweetness. Nothing too distinctive here, but a pretty decent brewpub Kolsch. Certainly better than plenty of others I tried on this trip.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 2, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 1/19/07: Pours a clear bright golden with a nicely-lacing frothy white head. Mild, lightly pale malty aroma has some fruity esters. Body starts fairly malty for the style with a good amount of European bittering hops. Nicely-balanced and very drinkable.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Mar 31, 2007 I really dig the kolsch at brewer’s alley. not too many pubs will wander into the kolsch zone where i live but these girls have the guts to do it and do it right. I’d like to try filling my fish tank with this stuff because i just know my tetras would freaking dig it as much as i do. Ungstrup (15343), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 1/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 1, 2007 Draft at the brewpub, July 2006. A slightly hazy light yellow beer with only a rim of white head. The aroma is quite light, but very fresh with notes of citrus. The flavor is a bit too malty to begin with (for the style that is), but then the lemon comes along, and leads to a dry slightly wheat end. The mouthfeel is quite sparkling due to high carbonation. I’d like it more refreshing. Derek881 (497), Frederick, Maryland, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 27, 2006 Updated: Apr 18, 2007Another beer that I have had on draft at Brewer’s Alley on more than one occasion. A gold-amber beer with a light, lasting, white head. Moderate carbonation and a thin body. A decent sweet-malt aroma with hints of grassy hops. The flavor is moderately sweet, only very slightly bitter. Overall, a good easy-to-drink beer.
