Ellicott Mills Alpenhof Kolsch

Brewed by Ellicott Mills Brewing
Style: Kölsch
Ellicott City, Maryland USA

Pours light gold. Clean and crisp flavor here. Not heavy at all. An easy drinking beer for sure.

hazy gold with a small white head and slight drippy lacing. the aroma is near nil... some fruitiness and grain. the flavor is the same with a bittered grainy finish and some yeast. it kinda tastes like the tap water... 4/3/4/3/10/2.4

Draft at the brewpub. Light and crisp. Watery. Not much character, too thin on the palate. Sweet light malt tones. Distant yeast notes have slightly grown on me my the end.

On Tap Golden Color, No head or lacing andnot much for light aromatic or fruit esters. Hop at finish but not especiallt clean. A poor example of a Koelsch.

On tap at pub. Clear yellow with no head. Aroma of grain and some hops. Taste of grain, grass, and some hops. Ho-hum.

On tap @ the Brewpub-Light, hazy yellow color w/a slight white head. Pretty basic stuff, some grass, some grain, some light hops, some interest-but not much. Pretty boring brew. Very blah

On Tap - A very basic Kolsch look to it, light golden yellow thin bubbly head that disappears quickly leaving only a trace. The aroma was a little on the fruity side for a Kolsch, but still some wheat in there. the flavor was god, as full-bodied as any kolsch i’ve had in a while.
