Commercial Description:
Our rendition of a classic ale style from Cologne, Germany. Its slightly fruity character and lighter flavor make it an easy-drinking brew.

Pour is a clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is malty with seom grassyness. Flavor is a super nice bready malt with bitterness at the end. This was a very nice kolsch.

Kind of a weak take on the style. Bready malts that come across kind of husky with a weak body, light floral hops.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear golden color with a fizzy white head. Grainy malt aroma. Slightly sweet grain entry leads into a lacking hop finish. Some doughy yeast present. Plain and simple. Not a big fan.

On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Clear golden color has a thin ring of white head. Aroma of slightly sweet pale malt with some lager yeast profile and noble hops. Body starts slightly thin and fizzy, but true to style with a mild sweetness and slightly floral estery hop and yeast character. A decent Kölsch.

Tap @ CooperSmiths: Poured a mostly clear golden yellow with a white head. Malty and mildly sweet aroma. Malty cereal grain notes. Lively carbonation.

This was just a heinous example of this style. Tasted like it was sweetned with corn syrup and almost vegetal and sour. Lots of lemony acidty, with some light cookie dough maltiness.

On tap at the brewpub 4/12/06: Bright yellow with little head. Very corny and starchy. Not at all Kolschy, me thinks.
