Eisenbahn Kölsch (Dourada)

Brewed by Cervejaria Sudbrack
Style: Kölsch
Blumenau, Brazil

Clear golden yellow with a medium white head. Body is very bubbly. Aroma of grains, sweet malt and a touch of lemon. Taste is grainy with mild honey, lemon and malt. Finish is gritty and mildly dry.

Clear, yellowy golden body with pathetic head. Slightly bready aroma with vague hints of fruit, taste doesn’t do it for me either, finished it though it was pretty lacklustre.

Sua espuma tem aparência inicial grande e cremosa, coloração branca e boa longevidade. Há excelente formação de colarinho e seu corpo é borbulhante e convidativo, de densidade rala e tonalidade amarelo-claro. Seu restrito aroma apresenta moderada presença de malte e pão branco. O sabor inicial é levemente amargo, bem como o final, de curta duração. O corpo é leve, aguado, de forte carbonatação e final metálico

12 oz. bottle from Sam’s Quik Shop in Durham, NC. Pours a pale gold with a quickly disappearing head. Aroma of skunk and grain. Taste is almost cloyingly sweet grains with fusel alcohol notes. Medium bodied and slightly stick. A true abomination of a beer.

Clear gold pour with a quarter-inch white head. Sweet malty nose. Flavor is well-balanced between slightly fruity malt and a tangy hop presence. Lightly bitter finish. Not bad.

25-Aug-08 (12-oz bottle, Batch 09: Purchased for $2.11 from www.liquidsolutions.biz) Bready, honey-like and sweet, some papery oxidation, with a touch of gently bitter hop flavor throughout. Smells like a sweet, honey beer, but oxidation is fairly obvious here as well. Medium-bodied, but with the beer tasting so sweet and without hop crispness, the beer sits heavy and stale on the palate. Dark-golden in color and beautifully clear. The off-white head pours to almost half an inch before settling to a thin ring. Overall, it lacks the crispness that one expects from the intended style, but it’s still drinkable. If a fresh sample shows up locally, I’ll give this one another shot.

12 oz, batch # 09. Clear burnt orange with a creamy lasting head. Nice lacing. Lemon-honey and dry grass aroma. Flavors of chalky grain, orange-lemon honey, light wood and a touch of sour fruit. Dry grain and grass on the finish. Medium body is lightly carbonated and smooth with a crisp finish.

Bottle. Pours amber with a white head. Sweet caramel aroma with a bit of straw. Flavor is again sweet malt, caramel and straw. Not bad.
