| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 20, 2006 Draught at the brewpub. Clear golden color with white head. Smells and tastes of citrusy hops with a nice malty cereal grain flavor. Not bad overall, but not exciting. SledgeJr (3000), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Apr 7, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. This really tastes like a kolsch. Golden in color with a white head. Does not have a harsh biting aftertaste like some kolsch biers do. Has a little bit of an apple aroma. A sweet flavor at first, then a bit of a plastic mouthfeel. Oakes (8142), Kowloon, Hong Kong
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 21, 2006 Golden colour. Light grassy continental hop nose with bready malts. Crisp, lightly fruity flavour with a rather tangy malt character. Finishes sweetish. Wow, actually Kolsch-like. omhper (12299), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 15, 2006 Draught at the brewpub. Clear pale golden, no head. Fruity, perfumy nose. Sweet and fruty with some grassy hops and sparkling mouthfeel. Some unfortunate notes of syrup before a grassy, salty finish. A very decent kölsch. tupalev (2618), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 29, 2005 On tap at the brewpub. Medium yellow, small white head - a few nice streaming bubbles as well. Very light grain aroma with slight hops. Light active mouthfeel. Interesting dry hop (not dry-hopped) taste - makes the finish very short. Hops are almost white wine like in their bitterness - I’m having a hard time describing it, but this is my first Kolsch, perhaps this is a characteristic of the style? I thought it was like a thicker pils. Ok, not sure if it is to style, but it is quenching and drinkable, just a little bland and non-existent aroma. PorterPounder (3148), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

Aroma is lemony and buttery. Flavor has some good buttery and salty notes, very sweet and refreshing. Very flavorful Kolsch. Highly carbonated. Hooker (450), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada
