Commercial Description:
A light, easy drinking German Blonde Ale, straw yellow in color. Similar in style to a Kolsh, the reformulated version of this popular favorite has more malt flavor and less hop bite. Imported German malt as well as a special Alt yeaststrain from Dusseldorf contribute to its incredible smoothness!

Sampler at the brewpub. Pours a lightly hazy golden with an average creamy white head that left some lacing. Aroma of light citrus, grainy and bready malts. Flavor of cereal grains, hints of citrus, bready with a light hop bitterness.

On tap at brewpub, 2/1/07. Pours a slightly hazy gold body with a foamy white head. Some light lacing. Light aroma of fruity esters, light yeast, and pale malts. Flavor is pretty minimal, soft and fruity with some yeast and a light hint of bananas. Mouthfeel is very soft and light bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, this was pretty decent for what it was, but it really didn’t fit the bill for a Kölsch. There was a pretty much complete lack of bitterness and the malt wasn’t especially clean.

Gold, thin white head. Light fruity nose with an underlying grassiness. Flavor is similar with touches of earth and citrus. Light bodied, soft carbonation, lightly bitter finish. This beer is what it is...a nice easy drinking session brew...
