A really good drinker here. Though the label looks so different that what is shown to the left. It seemed balanced, flavorable and refreshing. A good summer (kolsch) beer but not the best.

The aroma is like vinegar with yeast, fruit, and malt. The appearance is amber with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma and acidic. The palate is thin. Overall this is trash. Maybe I got an old bottle.

Ended up getting a pitcher of this stuff without even trying it. Probably not the best idea. Pretty good appearance to it, dark golden colored topped with a great deal of head and lots of lace. The taste was subpar though. A tangy, tart taste with a somewhat bitter finish. Not nearly as smooth or refreshing as I thought it would be.

Smells light and grassy with some nice malt aroma. Pours a clear light copper color with a small fizzy white head. Taste is more flavorful than most summer brews, in a very good way. Nice strong malt presence with some zesty hop notes. Almost tastes like apple juice. very tasty.

Bottle. Pours a copperr in color with a good, full head. The aroma is slightly sweet, yet tangy - almost sweetend citrus. The flavor is crisp and hoppy with a strong malt presense to balance the beer out. For a summer Kolsch, it is very full in mouthfeel with a good bit of carbonation. Very good.

Pours dark golden with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma of mango, earthy citrus, pine. Taste is citric, earthy, American hops. Light caramel and sweet malt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, lightly sticky with moderate carbonation. Tastes more like an amber ale than a Kolsch to my taste buds. Still pretty enjoyable.
