Commercial Description:
The Kölsch is a German-style ale that is brewed to obtain lager-like characteristics. This brew is highly carbonated and low in alcohol to create a very refreshing, thirst quenching beverage. Lite beer fans will really enjoy the Kolsch.

tap at the repeal prohibition festival. pours light yellow with a small soapy white head. nose is grassy with some active kolsch yeast here, almost skunky notes. very grassy flavors with quite a bit of grassy/spicy hops. definately a refreshing brew for shure. assertive grassy notes all the way through to a long finish. I could drink this one for hours. well done kolsch, a very nice style if you ask me.

Poured a dull, clear golden with a medium cap of creamy white head and some lacing. Nose was soft and grainy with some biscuity sweetness.. dusty noble hop accents. Flavor had a sweet biscuity base with moderate, dry bitterness surrounding.. faint head of citrus extends through a short finish.. solid. Light-bodied with rather high carbonation.. tad grainy.. felt and tasted very good for the style.

Sampled at Schlafly’s Repeal of Prohibition Fest along with Beerdrenched. Pours yellow with a light white head. The aroma is grainy and grassy with a bit of skunk. Medium / light body with a pleasant sharp carbonation. The taste starts grassy and grainy with pale malt. The finish brings in some spicy hops. Nothing fancy, just a well done kolsch.

Sampled at the Schlafly "Repeal Of Prohibition" beer festival, I use to like the similiar offering from Schlafly, but these were side by side at festival, and this won out. Lemon honey, light, sweet pale malts and a little spiciness to the nose, the lemon honey returns in the taste giving it a light fruitiness, thin sweet grainy maltiness, and a very soft grassiness, spiciness at the end. The body had the feel of a lite beer.

Cask version at 2007 NotLA. Lager/malt liquor aroma. Cloudy yellow body. Very lagerish flavor. A little diacetyl. Fruity and dry. Not bad, but not overly representative of the style.

On tap at Mickey Finn’s, Libertyville, IL. Hazy straw colored ale having tiny diminishing white head with no discernable lacing. No discernable aroma and carbonation. Light-to-medium bodied that starts with lightly sweet malty flavor with some grassy and honey hints. Finishes with light hop bitterness. This is a good drinkable beer, but nothing special. I agree with Cornfield in that it’s a tad too sweet.
