| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 26, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Bruisin Ales in Asheville. Light gold with the faintest haze and a nice white head of medium size that hangs around for a while and leaves a respectable lace. Some hints of hay and grass and gentle whiffs of floral and spicy hops demand attention. A healthy effervescence helps clean the palate, and the body is not as light as I would expect. The overall effect is a crisp yet satisfying mouthfeel. Light malty flavors bring sweetness up front, and the softest of bittering comes through in the finish. This is actually one of French Broad’s better efforts in my opinion. Well balanced, refreshing, easily drinkable. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA

Pours clear lemon yellow with a tall, sticky white head.
Saaz hops in the nose and the flavor.
Softly balanced. First come the hops then the malt.
Light, crisp and refreshing as a good Kölsch should be. 19641948 (491), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 23, 2007 Draft at Barley’s Taproom in Asheville, NC. Poured a slightly hazy golden color. Head was white and reduced over a few minutes to a thin film. There was some decent lace left on the glass at the end. Smelled of yeasty bread dough. White bread dough. The flavor was similar and pleasant with the addition of noble hops. There was mild hop bitterness at the end which rounded things out nicely. Surprisingly good for a kolsch.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 12, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear, light yellow body with an inch of white foam that thins out almost instantly.
Smell: Nose of sweetened grains and fragrant, floral Noble hop aromas.
Taste: Light pale maltiness, lightly sweet, and with a slight hint of unrefined grain. Mild, indistinct fruitiness. Floral, even grassy hop character with a nice bite of Noble hop bitterness. Light touch of sweetened grains on the drying finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Easy-drinking and keenly refreshing -- just what I want from a Kölsch. grimreeser (797), Minnesota, USA
