| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Jul 12, 2005 Tap. Ok name it a pils, yet give a description of a koelsch. The beerkeep even indicated that it was not a lager brewed beer. Golden color with a smaller off white head. Sweet malt, ester and mild hops aromas. Esters abound and not crisp of clean. I rated this as a pils as that is how it was presented. It may be slightly higher as a koelsh. MIBRomeo (1966), Wisconsin, USA

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Nov 9, 2005 Dark Gold Coloring. No Head. Light Malt Notes, Plenty of Bitter/Sour Flavor. It Slowly Fades Away to Watery-ness in the End, but It’s Not Enough to Make Me Ever Want to Try it Again. Cornfield (4980), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Oct 23, 2005 What is this?? Called a Pilsener by RB, it’s description reads, "A Koelsch style golden ale with light malt character, medium bitterness with low hop flavor and aroma. " ("Kolsch" also appears on a border on the label.) Gold with an erupting head, it had nice bubbling and beading. But the smell was sweet with a crabapple sourness added on. The carbonation was intense like a soda and became annoying rather than prickly. The flavor was something with a sour cider finish. No trace whatsoever of hops. I don’t know what it was (neither did the other members of The LoSBD who attended the meeting), but I know I won’t be drinking it again.

| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Nov 10, 2003 Updated: Nov 19, 2003Bottled. This was not on tap at the brewpub, and the beers I did have there were okay, so I hope it’s just a problem with their bottling line because this had a big butterscotch aroma when we popped the cap. Way too bitter for the style, too. And yes, the label says both "Kölsch" and "Pilsner," while the description (on-line and on their beer list) calls it an "ale."
