bottle, color of gold straw with a nice foamy two inch head that leaves spotty lace, flavor is sweet, bay leaf with a clean dry bitter finish

I have had this on tap in Koeln, but this was a bottle. Great Koelsch, with fruits and grapefruit and that drying finish. Carbonation just right. My favorite on tap but pretty good fro m the bottle also.

0.5 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured golden body with medium-smaller head. Nothing special in aroma, some undefined industrial hops. Bitter flavor, also somewhat sugar sweet with quite thin body. Bitterish, short and unimpressive finish. I had only one beer of the style before and that was much better, this is just a bit different than fine pale lagers. Not too fruity and without any estery characters, it is not so typical for the style.

0.5l can brought from Germany by a friend &#40;thanks Alen&#033;&#41;, shared with heavy.<br /> Poured a golden body with a relatively big fluffy white head that went away at a medium pace. Quite dusty hoppy nose. Sweet candyish-fruity but a little soapy maltiness with some light dusty hoppiness. One can hardly tell it apart from a &#40;relatively good&#41; pale lager. A very simple Kölsch.

bottle. Light golden, clear with a medium head that recedes. Aroma is grainy with light notes of fruit and bread. Taste is somewhat grainy and dry with light touches of fruity esters, slightly metallic, with a light hop bittering finish. Might have been a bit better fresher.
