| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 29, 2009 12oz bottle at a fantasy football draft, which seems appropriate somehow. Pale straw color with a thin head and very light carbonation. Hard to detect much spice or anything in the aroma. Flavor is crisp and dry to start, with a touch of malt sweetness emerging, but gets watery fast. Meh. kiefdog (1629), Tampa, Florida, USA

Flavor is sweet and slightly malty with notes of wheat, caramel, honey, yeast, light citrus, slight spice, some funk. Generally light body with a wheaty finish. joet (1709), Fulton, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 14, 2009 czech hops, pilsy flavor, lemon, golden beer, smaller bubbles, creamier feel, more hop character. love that it’s smaller than 5.5 - it’s more drinkable than crap beer. bubbleflubber (898), Collinsville, Virginia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 3, 2009 Pours clear golden into the glass, with a diminishing thin white head that reduces to trace bubbles and spotty lace. The nose is very sparse, and of earthen grains. The flavors have some citrus, grains, lemon acidity... (in that order).... and a finish of subdued grainy hops. A nice citric wake-up initially, but with a thin, almost watery mouthfeel and soft carbonation levels, this just misses the mark on coming in as a superior, top-tier Kölsch.
