Feb 9, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Kolsch works if you get it right, but it seems to be easy to get wrong and here I got a thin higher carbonated sweet-sourness that wasn’t intended and did not work together.

May 16, 2007 Pours a pale, clear straw with a thin white head. Aroma is thin - some grain, some grassy hops. The flavor is very light and delicate - typical of the style. It is, actually, quite flavorful for a Kolsch due it being served a little bit warmer than typical for the style. Not bad.

May 11, 2007 on tap-pours a retaining foamy white head that laces and hazy straw color. Aroma is light grain. Taste is light grain, creamy then flat hops. Light/medium body. OK effervescence. Occasional.

Apr 29, 2007 Draft pint at the brewpub; Bright yellow with a filmy white foam top, lightly carbonated. The aroma is just lightly fruity. Flavor-wise, this presents a full-bodied fruity malt with only a hint of starchy sugar. The tart finish is a bit fuller than those I remember in Koeln, but this is a nice hoppy little light ale.

Mar 14, 2007 My Bottom Line:
Timid citrus fruit and crisp grain unite in an overly delicate flavor profile made for long sessions. Ultra-clean and drinkable, this lacked character to reach me that day.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam surrounds the clear pale blond.
-The watery passages are not necessary, imho.
-Some wooden hops appear in the back, very subtly.
-I am usually a proponent of well-crafted lagers, but I have to admit this one did not appease my appetite for the style.
On tap at the brewpub.

Feb 24, 2007 Draft. Pours a light pale yellow with a thin light head, with good lacing on the glass.. A very malty aroma with a hint of sweetness. The flavor is very crisp and clean. A light, slightly sweet flavor, very true to the style. A hint of hops on the finish. Very good version of the style.

Feb 14, 2007 Draft... Clear, light yellow (cold-lagered) ale with a small, creamy, white head. Grainy, acetaldehyde bomb aroma... much like Budweiser. Grainy flavor leans on the bitter side of balance. Mild toffee sweetness. More ethanal... yuck. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes acerbic and/or biting.

Dec 21, 2006 Clear golden pour. Biscuity malt character, strong crisp noble hops man I love them, perfect bitterness. It just tasted good and was so crisp.
