Nice light color beer with fair white head and plenty of lacings. Nice bitter hops with a modest malt profile. Good session brew. Good change from the big citrus hop micros that are in such plentiful supply nowadays.

12oz bottle. Filtered, classic golden-yellow beer color. Great fresh doughy aroma. Smooth and highly drinkable, with a yeasty malt sweetness. Like the Captain said, there is a touch of fruit esters. I really found this to be quite good stuff, though perhaps a little off the mark stylistically.

Bottle thanks to 5000: Pours a transparent pale golden with a thin ring of wispy white head. Aroma of semi-sweet pale malts with some mild earthy hops and a touch of fruity esters. Has a smooth, lightly sweet body with decent bitter balance and authenticity throughout. Could be a little cleaner and crisper in the finish, but still not a bad Kölsch.

Bottle at Anchor, Wichita. <br /> Pours a nice, deep cheddar yellow with an aroma of subtle banana. Flavor is grassy hops with a subtle sweet malt offset, and a hint of tropical fruit. Flavor is spread nicely along the palate. Very refreshing and tasty kolsch.

On tap @ the brewpub. Pours clear watery gold with bright white head creating some nice lacing. The aroma has a pleasing mix of spicy noble hops, graininess, bubble gum and hints of banana. The taste is crisp and fresh with an initial pulse of banana and apricot. The tasty Munich grainy maltiness picks up just before a bolt of floral and spice hop bitterness mingle with lingering banana and bubble gum into the finish.
