Cambridge Regatta Golden

Brewed by Cambridge Brewing Company
Style: Kölsch
Cambridge, Massachusetts USA

(Draught) Pours a clear yellow body with a medium white head. Aroma of lemongrass, florals, and grain. Flavor of toasted grain, honeycomb, Cheerios, and some grass.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear gold color. The head was white with good retention and lacing. Smelled of grass, subdued honey, and pale malt. Light bodied and slightly sweet up front. Dryish finish. I tasted fresh cereal grains and pale malt.

The pour reveals a clear golden color with a thin white head. Nice aroma of hay and malt. Good flavor of hay, malt and citrus. The body is medium with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Well-done and quite refreshing!

Draft. Included as part of a sampler at the brewpub. Tried many of the offerings over several visits to the brewpub. I remembered liking pretty much everything but do not remember specifics. Will no doubt retaste many of these at future visits.

Pours mostly clear gold with a white head. Perfumy cereal grains, corn and that “lager-like” fuesal/fruit/urine deal, with a bit of black pepper smelled and tasted as well. Simple, a bit putrid or moldy, and overall a pretty big disappointment, which seems to be quite common with American brewpub-made Kolsch.

Growler, courtesy of acrdz. Thanks, Mike! Pours a clear, bright golden color; white head with glistening, fine-bubbled lacing. Some buttery / butterscotch notes (like the IPA), but less hidden here; butter, sugar, and mineral hops in the aroma. Medium mouthfeel: bland cereal, butterscotch, and sugar; slightly watery on the edges; a touch of mineral (and citrus) bitterness; not a very good Kolsch; messy and buttery and a bit too sweet. Still, drinkable. Medium finish: sugar, mineral bitterness, and a touch of cereal.

Growler courtesy of arcdz. Clear golden body with a small white head. Doughy, buttery nose with some herbal hops. The flavor is very light with a touch of cracker, some herbs and lemon. Light body is a bit thinish with moderate carbonation. Bland,, even for a Kolsch.

On tap at CBC. Nose not all too pungent, but pleasent. good golden color with off-white lace. spicy hops, nice dry finish. light, but a flavorful beer.
