Pour from the bottle into a pint glass. Initial pour produced a golden body with a quickly diminishing head of white foam. Moderate hopping with a sharp nose. The sharpness continues into its flavor with a bitterness which quickly diminished to a light aftertaste of hops, with quite a bit of dryness. Not the best ale that I have had, though not terribly offensive.

Bottle to glass. My first Kolsch-esque beer. Pours clear medium-yellow with a white head that lasts for a short bit. Moderate malt aroma and a mediumhop aroma (spicy, herbal) mixed with some pepper and medicine. It get s a "5" for being unique to me with how herbal it is, but nothing else stands out. The herbalness goes away as it warms and it becomes just bland. Time to try an authentic Kolsch.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Smells like a European lager, but much less offensive. Taste matches, light malt and noble hops. considering that Im not a fan of the style, I guess this isnt bad.

Slightly malty on the nose. Plain piss yellow color, fairly well carbonated. Boring taste, some slight hoppiness, and some malt flavor. Overall drinkable, but unremarkable

Pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of wheat, lemon and grassy hops. Tastes like yet another summer Kolsch, yawn. Some lemon, wheat with some hops that make it mildly bitter. Mostly malted, definitely forgettable.

Not much going on here. Some malts on the nose and the same with the flavor. Refreshing to drink but pretty unremarkable.

Sweet fruity and floral nose, little spiciness. Yellow gold, with a decent medium head. Light malt sweetness, some nice spicy bitterness for balance. Very bubbly and clean, light body, actually has a late and lingering finish that is quite pleasant. Not a bad session beer.

Can’t say I’m a fan of this one. Light yellow and light bodied. Very faint aroma and only a slightly stronger flavor of grassy wheat and some mild hops. Not bad really, but nothing really good to recommend it either.
