Poured from bottle a clear light-yellow with thin white head. Aroma of toast, hay and tart grass. Flavor is light and crisp with hay, tart grass, a touch of lemon and malt. Palate is carbonated crisp yet with a malty thickness that coats the tongue and a tart/bitter lingering finish. Overall not my favorite style but worth while on a very hot summer day.

Dec 21, 2009 355mL colorful bottle. Pours a clear yellow with seltzer carbonation, thin white head that dissipates quickly. No retention. Leaves little smidgens of lacing. Aroma is grainy, grassy, lemon, not much to it. Taste is seltzer water, some raw grains, light citrus. Fairly bland but drinkable. Has some creamy ale-like qualities found in traditional kölsch bier but very subdued. Would have blind rated it as a cream ale or pale lager.

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.

Aug 5, 2009 Pretty darn good. Refreshing not too bittewr but it aint mild. THis style isn’t as well known as it should be and I do agree that if this was an import people would be rating it higher. A good drink!

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.
