Commercial Description:
The laws protecting the brewing of kolsch are as strict as the German Purity Law of 1516. Kolsch beer can only be brewed within the city of Cologne. As the best-known kolsch brewery, Gaffel's flavor is derived from an ale yeast that is "lagered" (or aged) in cold cellars. Gaffel is pale, faintly fruity with a crisp, hop finish. Enjoy as an aperitif or digestif.

Bottle. High creamy and lasting white head. Clear yellow body. Dinstinct, simple but good barley malt aroma. Thin, weak, sweet barley malt flavor with low carbonation, little hops bitterness and a short sweet aftertaste.

On draught @ The Raleigh Times. Not my favorite style but I wanted something on tap and the only other thing they had at the time was witbier or PBR. Clear golden yellow in the glass. Muted nose. Flavour was grassy, watery and finished with a pleasant dry crispness. Like I said, not my favorite style, but hit the spot, nonetheless.

Light yellow colored with little white head. Bitingly hopped aroma with thin flowers, good one. Medium bodied. Flavor starts with biting hops, lemon also here. Aftertaste is rather dry and biting. Not too balanced for my taste, good aroma.

Botella. Clear golden with a big nice creamy pure white well lasting head leaving a good lacing. Aroma of corn with bitter tones. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a pleasant maltiness with corn and a tickeling bitterness. Dry malty mildly bitter finish.
