Light golden color with a small diminished white head. Some lace. Grains and white grape aromas. Some hints of grass as well. Fairly thick feel, but enough zip so that is does not get cloying or bogged down. Light grain and a bit of herbal hops. in the flavor. Slightly acidic, which makes it a bit quenching. Finish and linger is fairly dry and slightly bitter.

Bottle from Trader Joes - Cincy. Poured clear golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate grassy citrus aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable beer and very good for style.

Bottle from a Trader Joe’s in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a foamy white head. Light aromas of grass and malt. Near medium body with coarse, prickly carbonation. Flavor is pale malt and grass. Slightly bitter. More so in the finish. It’s ok, but not a revelation.

Trader Joes. This is surprisingly good. Lacing head. Moderate carbonation and a gold colored beer. There is yeast and malt. Llightly hopped. Pretty solid, all considered. Good palate.

Bottle. Golden beer with an off-white head. Honey-malt aroma with light grass. Malt flavor with light sweetness, light grass, and light mineral notes. Medium bodied. Refreshing. Sweet malt lingers with a light mineral note.

12 oz bottle from Trader Joes, Bakersfield. Nose of grain, light honeylike sweetness, and a touch of bubblegum. Very lightly hazed yellow gold with a medium white head that laces lightly. Flavor is a hint of sweet. some light bitterness, and some peppery spiciness. Good kolsch and only $3.99 a sixer.

From bottle. Very mild aroma, with just a bit of hops and subtle malt sweetness. Not quite a corn aroma but a bit of something in there. Dull golden clear with thin white head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Starts with light beany hops character and light acidity, some malt sweetness that’s not too bad, maybe a little corn-like character. Finishes sweet with just a bit of hop bitterness and light carbonic acidity. Mild after. Not bad, but not great. Not really a good example of a Kölsch.

Wow, this has a lot of butter in the flavor, not tasty. Thin quick-disappearing head, not good. Their draft sommer brau at the brewery is much better than this bottled version.
