Ive never had a great Kolsh and this is no exception. Prety bland beer with a watery body and no head retention. There was however a nice buisquity taste to it with a mild amount of hops.

Pours a nice golden yellow with a small white head. Aromas of grainy malt,maybe even a hint of caramel. Flavor of is of sweet pale malts with a slight bitter finish and a slight hop flavor.Light body. Not horrible,nothing too special though. Thanks Ubamartian!

Beer is clear, light gold. Head is small, white, frothy/creamy; quickly diminishing, ultimately lasting as a skim.<P>The aroma is malty with light notes of toasted grain and shortbread; Hoppy with a trace of slightly piny floral; Trace of tropical fruit.<P>The flavor is lightly/moderately sweet, moderately bitter, lightly acidic with a long, moderately/heavily bitter, lightly acidic, lightly/moderately sweet finish. Dingy husky retros.<P>The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.

Golden color with a fizzy white head. Mild smell of spicy, dry malts. Light/medium body. Has a mildly sweet grain taste with barely a hint of spicy hops. A good alternate for the macro lagar. 012806

Wow, this was bad. Devoid of any real flavor or substance. I actually enjoy a Kolsch from time to time, but this is just bad.

Medium head with a cloudy light yellow beer. Smells a bit flowery. Drinks like a light lager. Not a lot more to say about it.

Bottled.I didn’t find this as awful as some of the other raters did. I was surprised that it was a kolsch though, it certainly doesn’t taste much like a Reissdorf or a Gaffel - more like a watery Duvel?
