Pyramid Curve Ball Kölsch

Brewed by Pyramid Breweries
Style: Kölsch
Portland, Oregon USA

12 oz. 2007 bottle. Pale gold in color. Head is loose and fizzy, quickly dissipating entirely. Nose is faint, with hay and clover notes. The herbal hop character seems a bit weaker this year. It’s a decent lawnmower beer still, but my yard only takes 15 minutes to mow, so I won’t need much of this.

Pours a cloudy light yellow color with a large fizzy white head that quickly dissipates. No lacing. Aroma is of strong citrus of the lemon variety. Lots of sediment at the bottle of the glass. As much as this smells like a lemony beer, the carbonation doesn’t mask the lack of taste. It finishes with an acidic taste that leaves a less than appealing mouthfeel. Light on the mouth, soft carbonation.

Too much carbonation, good aroma, smells better than it tastes, the Milky Way galaxy in the bottom of the glass. Reviewed on January 4th, 2007.

Light yellow with white head. Smells wheaty and grassy. Tastes like a pilsner, just a little bit of bitter aftertaste. The palate is thin and a little watery. Good summer beer.

Almost no aroma. Cloudy hefe-like appearance. No head. Tngy flavor w/ a crisp palate. Plenty drinkable & refreshing but I don’t see myself buying this often.

I have had both on tap and in the bottle. Its a light summer beer. Nothing remarkable about it.

12 ounce bottle. This is nothing spectacular. A small, fizzy head that quickly departed. A nice golden color. Aroma of floral hops and lightly of grain or straw. Rather mild, sweet flavor that doesn’t stay around for very long.

A light summer beer. I didn’t pick up the slight herbal taste. The aroma was subtle, with a light hop smell and a bit of yeast and grain/hay. The head was a little dissapointing - very small, fizzing away almost instantly. It does have a light golden, very clear body. The flavor is sweet at first finishing a little sour, but not unpleasantly so.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a head of foamy fine to large sized white colored bubbles that was and left behind a slightly hazy strong bubbly carbonation dark yellow colored body. The aroma was metallic and grassy. The crisp and clean mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt and hops. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again.
