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.

16.9 oz bottle. Golden color with a fluffy white head. Aroma is grainy, with some yeast flavor to it. Flowery as well. Flavor is a little dry, and does not leave a really nasty aftertaste, which is always a plus.

Tap at Laschet’s. A bit tinny, though quite fruity and tasty. A touch dry with a diminished head. okay.

0.4 L draft at Loreley, in NYC. My first Kolsch, so not much to compare to. No lingering head, crisp grain, a little dry and tasty.

12oz bottle pours golden with a fluffy white head that stays briefly. Aromas of crisp grains, and some grassy hops. Flavor is mostly grainy with a slight yeast presence and some nice grassy hops at the finish. Light crisp clean and very refreshing. Not bad at all on a hot summer day!

16.9oz bottle, no date. Pours a clear very light straw with a one finger white head. Aroma of faint skunk, cookie dough, herbal and slightly spicy hops, and lastly a bit of grain. Flavor adds a bit of wet paper and more grain. Minimal bitterness. Moderate carbonation, thin body. Not very great.
