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.

Pours a clear yellow with a soapy white head. Poor lacing and aroma-some yeast. Crisp and mildly hoppy as described. Overly carbonated. Not worth the price.

Pours with a very thin, frothy, white head. Body is a fizzy, clear yellow. Head lasts about 1 minite 30 seconds before reverting to just a ring. Slightly fruity smelling lager with grassy hops. Watery and grassy till the end which is a bit metallic. Watery and fizzy mouthfeel. Not bad, but overall quite boring.

Bottle. Clean pale golden with a steady white head. Hints of grass in the aroma. Malty flavours, some grassy hops. A hint of fruit (apple?) Well-carbonated, medium body. Decent, not more.

1pt, 0.9oz bottle. Pour is yellow, which resembles natty light but with more lacing on the white head. Light mouth is enjoyable and very easy drinking. Not bad but i don’t see a reason to buy this
