| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 2, 2009 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. Tmoney99 (4765), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

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.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 29, 2009 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. Nate (2554), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Aug 3, 2009 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. dwyerpg (2537), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 1/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jun 24, 2009 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.
