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.

300 von fass, beautiful outdoor seating by The Mosel River at Gasthaus Mosellied in Trier. Served chilled. Bright golden body topped by a tiny layer of foam. Tranquil aroma of dry fruits. Hints of citric flavour and noble hops. Pretty soft on the swallow. An additional score for the warm and nice autumn scenery by the river (16.09.2007).

Bottle. Pours a pale blonde with a thick white head. Smells hoppy with a bit of a malt characteristic, and a nice wheat characteristic included too. Taste is the same, very smooth throughout. Solid, though not spectacular.

Bottle - 330ml. Pal blond body with good carbonation and a thick, lasting white foamy head. Decent malty hoppy aroma with bready and herbal notes. Taste is fresh and well balanced. It ends with a fair hoppy finish. Well made.

I had this a few days ago while I was celebrating the Cowboys victory over Da Bears. Poured a large fast dissipating white head. Aroma of light malts and hops. Flavor of sweet malts, crisp and the distinctive German hops bite at the end.

On tap in NYC. It pours straw yellow with a medium head. Aroma shows the grassy side of a losch. The palate is crisp with some light notes of malt and hops but nothing truly stands out especially with the quick finish.

Why is the cap an American flag? Is it because this was bottled for U.S consumption? Pours a clear straw gold with minimal head that doesn’t stick around long. Nose is grainy. Flavor is smooth on the body with an even, but milder bodied character to it. Feel is good. Lower carbonation but not too thin overall. Definitely drinkable. Not a knockout brew, but still pretty decent.
