Commercial Description:
Unpasteurised, but filtered and artificially carbonated. Only available on draught (keg) under the Meantime label, sometimes as Meantime Kolner. Also available in bottle as Sainsbury's Cologne style lager - previously known as Sainsbury's Kolsch Style Lager.
This beer has a light, clean fruity nose, a hint of malt sweetness on the palate and a long dry and faintly bitter finish.

On tap at Brew Wharf. Hoppy nose. Grassy taste, also honey. Really subtle and complex taste. Grassy with nice herb flavours. Enjoyable.

On draught at the monkey place in Herne Hill. I’d never really got the idea of koelsch as a style before, but this one has a very nice malty flavour to it, definitely different from a pilsner. Maybe I should take that holiday in Duesseldorf after all.

Bottled as Sainsbury’s TTD Cologne style lager. The aroma of this yellow fizzy beer is slightly fruity, and the flavour is pleasantly malty at first, but then develops a somewhat metallic aftertaste. Overall, it’s just bland and unremarkable.

Pale, slightly woody/nutty malt on snout, honeyish and lemony, a bit beeswaxy, Hint of spruce. Lightly citric in the mouth, some pine, fairly robust hop follow-through in finish. Lingers bitterly. Pretty authentic flavour-wise, just lacks some of the sparkle of the real thing.

draught at the union. aroma is a let down, paper and not much else. Straw yellow colour, good white head. Body of nettles, herbs, fruit and a lovely bitter dry finish. Good round well made kolsch.
