Commercial Description:
Clear, crisp and refreshing as a High Sierra stream, our Kolsch-style ale combines a light malt body with a gently floral hop finish. German Pilsner malt and the finest domestic noble hops make this a beer of exceptional smoothness and drinkability.

12 oz bottle courtesy of brewer Irishsnake. Light, faintly hazy gold, huge bubble action, moderately lasting off-white head....nice solid malty nose, bit of dry caramel and citrus and a soft grassy foundation...soft, creamy, dryish mouthfeel, malty sweetness increases towards the end which seems to have hints of maple and light banana perhaps...very solid, pleasant kolsch that isn’t mindblowing but almost compulsively drinkable.

12oz bottle (4.8%abv) poured a very clear gold color with a small white head. Aroma had some corn and sweet malt with no hops. Taste was almost like water with a touch of bitterness in the end. I haven’t tasted many beers as smooth as this one, would like to see a little more hops in this one.

This beer was also acquired at Mammoth Liquor. The aroma was a slight grapefruit and flowers, w/ a light fruit sweetness. The flavor was light w/ pineapple and grapefruit, pine and light fruit. The beer poured a pale yellow color w/ thin head and lacing. The mouthfeel was light and creamy.

Light aroma, a little funk. Has a spice taste to it but I can’t quite place it. A bit heavy for the style, but mostly pretty decent.

Bottle. Very light citrus aroma. Thin to medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is light malt and mild citrus and grassy hop. The finish is actually grassy in a dry way. It’s mild, but flavorful. The grassiness gets a bit over the edge, but it is flavorful. I doubt that Mammoth can make an unpleasant product. The grassiness makes this a substantial, compared to most Kolsches, ale. Very drinkable.

Aroma is slightly sweet bready malt, similar to a pilsner more or less. Pours yellow gold with a small velvetty head. Flavor is sweet bready and mildly fruity malt. There is some citrus hop presence, but it is mild. A malty sugary mouthfeel lingers, as well as some gentle spiciness. Definitley smooth and drinkable, but like the last rater said, it does seem a little heavy for the style. Definitley the heaviest beer I have had tonight.

Bottle: Pale straw yellow, light head and lacing. Nose of toasty malt, biscuit and dough. Light malty, husky biscuit. A bit so-so and light and watery. Some vauge notes, but I wouldn’t buy it again.
