Draft: I’m surprised at finding out this was a Kolsch. The description at the brewery said it was a Golden Ale. It poured a golden yellow color with not much head. The aroma was light hops and citrus. The flavor was weird. It started out smooth and sweet with hint of coriander. Then it finished by tasting like metal. Not a beer I’d ever drink again. I struggled to get this down.

Draft. Pale golden color with a thin white head. Fresh hop aroma with citrus and some grainy notes. Fresh hop flavor with a citric finish. Refreshing.

I think mike oberdorf said it best: "WHAAAAA?" An average of 3.92? This was mediocre at best. Actually, it tasted like a slightly less hoppy version of their BPA. I thought it was a golden/blonde ale. A Kolsch? I highly doubt it. I’ll be happy to take this beer down a peg or two.

an excellent beer for you and that chick you are hitting on who ’hates beer.’ but you really shouldn’t be hitting on a chick who hates beer now should you?

A person I was with described this in terms of "the first caught trout in a spring cast". Well... It is true this is a very good beer. As light as any light beer, good head, but whoa! what an aroma of orange and bubblegum, with similar flavors. An astringent palate, interesting citric notes. A worthy beer.
