Commercial Description:
Kenzinger is a quenching golden session ale that boasts a European birthright while displaying a certain Philadelphia sensibility. Kenzinger is crisp and smooth enough to refresh, but with a spirited, unforgettable flavor that delivers 100% of recommended daily taste bud stimulation. Brewed with pure pilsner malts, light on the bittering hops but loads of hop flavor and aroma; Kenzinger is bound to be your new standby.

Bottle. Gold pour with 2-finger white head. Nose has mild notes of honey, hopcitrus, and honey. Tastes on the watery side, with some hopcitric tartness and some slightly astringent pale malt notes. Forgettable.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear yellow gold body with no head. Aroma is slight sweet hops. Taste is smooth, with some hops.

Pours a lightly hazy golden/yellow with a medium foamy/bubbly head that left some spotty lacing. Aroma of hay, horse barn (but not in a funky lambic way), grainy bread, malty with a touch of some citrus. Flavor of cereal grains, grassy, hay, lightly floral and citrus notes. Some hop bitterness and flavor that lingers around. For some weird reason I was getting blueberry pie out of the flavor. No clue why.

This is a true local session beer that actually tastes good. You could easily throw back quite a few of these due to the low ABV. Malty aroma with a hint of hops. Flavor is grains, malts, a bit astringent, and a hop bitterness in the background. Not too sweet, not too dry. Call me crazy, but I liked this one.

Kenzinger, catchy name, catchy label, and probably a beer that will catch on locally as well. Blonde Ale is light on bitterness, malt/grain and lemon/citrus dominate. Kenzinger is lighter on alcohol than its Canadian Ale ’cousins’. Perfect lawnmower beer, and in the Philadelphia area that’s the type of beer the masses will consume. Happily consumed @ a Memorial Day party with all four Philadelphia Brewing Co’s brands in the coolers. Kenzinger was the most popular that day.
