Commercial Description:
This is a smooth, soft-bodied, golden ale that is lightly fruity with a pleasing dry finish. It is styled after the Kölsch beers of Germany. The yeast culture is a hybrid between a lager and an ale. Extended cold conditioning is used to develop the dry finish characteristic of lager beers, and yet retains the fruitiness found in ales. The lower alcohol content makes this a very refreshing, thirst-quenching ale. The Columbia Kölsch is our best-selling draft beer.

Not a style I’m really into, but this was more enjoyable then the average Kolsch you find in the US since it had some extra hopping going on. Rather than being bland and balanced this had a more assertive citrus hop presence of the soft bready malts. None of that grape yeast flavor garbage going on, not just something brewed to appease the macro crowd, pretty solid.

Ice Harbor Brewing – Kennewick, WA
Aroma: Light malt with a lingering hops aroma.
Appearance: Golden in color, clear with a thin head.
Flavor: Nice Kolsch flavor crisp with some hops to give some extra flavor.
Palate: Dry with a smooth light finish.
Overall: Another summer easy drinking beer for this area that can get very hot.

On tap at the brewery. You know, I don’t say this often, but this Kolsch I really liked! See through gold as it should be, with a very light watery malt aroma with a bit of butter. Flavor is smooth and simple with light fruit malts that swiftly gives way to a grass heavy hop bite that lingers in the finish. Seriously...the finish is great!

Not bad. Not good. Just about as average as beer can be. Almost no flavor. Pretty thin mouthfeel. Slightly lemon grass essence with very sour finish. Really thin malt, maybe a little banana twist - really not much here.

Pours a golden yellow/amber. Aromas of lemon, grains, celery. Flavor is crisp, dry, sweet malt, and a mild hop.

Pale yellow with lively carbonation. Creamy head. Sweet aromas of bubblegum with some butter and a touch of funk. Flavor visits the bubblegum again with a musky malt back. Slightly bitter with some sour notes. Finishes dry and husky.

On draught at the brewery. A clear straw color, well carbonated with a light white head and soft mouthfeel. Very slight hop crispness and slight dry hoppy finish after the clean pale malt flavor. Light and clean, but little to grab your attention.

Sampled draught at Ice Harbor Brewpub in Kennewick, WA
Light pale yellow, white head, lacing is faint. Nose of musky vegetables, sour grains, bad foot disease. The flavor is no better, carbonated and sweet but similar to the nose.
