doubleo (1096), San Diego, California, USA Nov 1, 2008 On-tap at Stone as Lightning Kellar Kolsch. Pours cloudy orange with a creamy, white head, weird filmy lace. Smells yeasty and bready grainy, sweet. Tastes malty and grainy bready sweet, slightly spicy. Medium body, ok carbonation. chrisafari (100), Orange, California, USA Aug 20, 2008 Pours medium golden with thin rim of a head. Aroma is sweet fruit and estery. Flavor begins with sweet bananas and dry hops and finishes with a dry hoppiness. Medium bodied. Seems a little off style for a kolsch. Dogbrick (2816), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jul 7, 2008 Sample at San Diego Brewing Company. Pours a murky dark gold color with a minimal white head that diminishes to nothing. Top stringy ring of lacing with nothing under it. Sweet fruit and spices in the nose, plus a bit of malt. Light-bodied with a fruity character and flavors of spice and earthy malts. The finish is sweet and fruity leaving a sweetness behind. Decent overall. bluemeow76 (693), Lewis Center, Ohio, USA Jun 29, 2008 On draft at San Diego Brewing Company. No head, thin lacing. Great flavor for type. Thick, sweet & spicy. A nice drink. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Mar 28, 2008 Yellow gold colored beer with a big bubbly head reminiscent of every Lightning beer I have drank. Sweet grainy aroma. Light fruitiness. Light sweet grain flavor with a touch of fruity esters. JohnC (2230), Mission Viejo, California, USA Feb 11, 2008 On tap at pizza port san clemente
clear yellow with a white head. It was the beer they were selling folks who came in asking for Bud, Miller or Coors. Sweet flavor that I just didn’t like. badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA Jun 11, 2007 Tasted at Lightning. Light golden amber with white head. Malty aroma and a sweet malty taste with a hint of banana and a good clean finish. Bartzilla (441), San Diego, California, USA Jun 10, 2007 Not usually a kölsch guy, but this stuff is pretty good. When faced with the tremendous onslaught of mega IPA’s, this is like a nice, refreshing treat that doesn’t disappoint. I like it because I can DRINK it and not have to sip it. Solid all around.
