willblake (1928), Long Branch, New Jersey, USA Apr 26, 2008 20061209 Tap at brewery. Hoppy stuff with a mild, smooth body. Grassy but a touch vegetal. Clean and quick. Good enough, but not very kolschy. jcwattsrugger (3862), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Dec 26, 2006 on tap-pours a white head and gold color. Aroma is honey, flat hops, grain. Taste is flat hops bite, honey, grain. OK carbonation. Dickinsonbeer (2513), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Dec 11, 2006 On tap at the pub. This was probalby the only decent beer on tap that night out of about 8 beers. With that said, this still wasnt anything like a kolsch. Pours a light gold, mostly clear and a thin white head. Aroma is grainy, and earhty,. herbla hops with a light lemony pressence. No fresh bready pils malts, no light esters- hardly any hop presence, and it isnt fresh noble german hops. Light crackery malt flavor with some adjunct graininess and some DMS. Lightly bitter in the finihs- easy drinking, but bland and nothing to it. Crappy interpretation of a Kolsch.

I’m pretty convinced that almost nobody in the US knows how to make a Kolsch at all. They are all different and none are really very good. This was pretty good I just think it wasn’t a kolsch at all. hophead75 (1661), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Jun 1, 2006 orange with a small head. aroma: phenolic fruits, some banana, earthy, sweet malt. Taste is the same with some vanilla, wood showing through. slightly bitter finish.
