| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 20, 2009 12 oz. single - $1.79 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a medium-sized, white head.
Smell: Faintly grainy light malt nose with small notes of grain and spicy, herbal hops.
Taste: Light maltiness with a slight graininess, a small touch of sweetness, and a hint of wheat breadcrumbs. Incredbily faint fruitiness. Spicy hops displaying a slight grassy herbaceous quality and medium-low bitterness. Finishes dry and crisp, with a bit of lingering spicy hop character.
Mouthfeel: Hovers on the fine line between light and medium-light bodied. Crisp, medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Comfortably average Kölsch! A simple, refreshing, crisp alternative to the basic American lagers. jbrus (4905), Delft, Netherlands
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 19, 2009 Bottle@Home. Hops, grain, hint of sewer aroma as well. Golden, white disappearing head, fair lace. Malt sweet, light bitterness, lightly hopped, light floral. Bit cloying, full. High drinkability. Kölsch? More like Golden Ale to me.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 17, 2009 Shortlived medium white head, fed by lively carbonation in deep-golden beer. Slightly spicy nose, with some recognisable hops. Very faraway sweetish pale malts. Bitterish, hoppy (seemingly UK hops, if grapey) flavour with a noticeable cardboard background. Hops dominate. Light; backthroat slickness, grist-like. Hops fade away very slowly. Not at all bad, hoppy golden ale. But a Kölsch??? Aber Mensch! Nicht mal nähe! jamvin23 (162), chicago, Illinois, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 15, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Golden, slightly cloudy color. Fizzy head, but with slightly larger bubbles. Smells of sweet malts, but with a bit of medicinal phenol. Taste is overly sweet, but at least not saccharine. Light bitterness. I’m kind of surprised that this comes out of Flying Dog, it’s a pretty average beer. Gassy and filling. JaBier (1284), Capital City, Ohio, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Feb 13, 2009 Sampled at the Flying Dog tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 2.12.09. Clear gold pour with a thin white head. Aroma of hop and malt with a ton of lager yeast influence. Odd, seeing as this is an ale. Flavor is pretty much the same. Average for the style, and the style is pretty average itself.
