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.

Light golden kolsch with a creamy white head. A sweet malt with notes of honey in aroma. In mouth, a nicely hopped Kolsch, with some overbearing sweetness, chalky mineral notes, much less dry than other kolsch I tried. However, this was pleasant and quaffable.

Very pale, white head. Soft aroma of yeast, citrus and sweet bread. Fairly dry mouthful, with citrus, flowery hops and some soft nuts. As light as it feels, there is some decent complexity. the finish is delicate and crisp. So easy.

Köln, sipped by the Dom while watching the hour strike 21:00. Total mystery to me why this beer style is a big deal. Acceptable yet over-cooked macro-like beer.
