Apr 25, 2006 (On tap) Clear pilsener golden with a white head. Very discreet aroma with a vague, hoppy edge. Medium body with some pilsener malt and a clean, lightly floral bitter end. A nice alternative to a lager. 010406

Feb 9, 2009 Golden, sparkly. Light fresh bread aroma. Bread, light herbal hop palate. No overly kolsch-like, but a nice basic beer.

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.

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.

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.

May 1, 2006 Draught sample at the brewpub. Very pale with a faint hint of haze in the body and a touch of head remaining....delicate, grassy nose, with floral (lavender) hints, light pale maltiness, and a bit of sweet lemon....body is very soft and creamy with a healthy noble hop bitterness showing up late....very fresh, newly-cut spring grass texture, quite bitter at the finish but held together well with rich malt backdrop. Nice, very very nice.

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.

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.
