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.

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.

[Bottle from Alexander.] Ok Kölsch, not too sweet and you can enjoy it in the heat not getting bored of it.

Clear yellow beer with a medium head. Grainy aroma,mildly bitter. The flavour is surprisingly clean, malty and biscuity but quite bland.

gold-tinged yellow, slight white head. nose of corny air. flavor is grain, corn, better than i expected, at fgirst, but once the beer starts to warm, a corn-syrup sweetness seems to emerge. light-bodied, dry finish. kind of refreshing.

From a bottle poured a clear golden color with a fair amount of head. Nice refreshing flavor with a quick finish.

Perfect summertime brew. Light crisp clean. Smells citrusy and grassy. Had it on tap at Teresa’s in Wayne PA. If you like Kolsch beer, this one is not to be missed.

On tap at the Rotten Apple. Perhaps it is because I had a glass of this only 10 minutes after drinking a pint of Lagunitas Brown Sugga but I could find almost no flavor to this beer. Even my wife, who has trouble with Bud Light (!) agreed. So my description will go as: clear golden body with no head. Quite thin. Almost no flavor or aroma.
