Pyramid Curve Ball Kölsch

Brewed by Pyramid Breweries
Style: Kölsch
Portland, Oregon USA

Draft at the alehous in Walnut Creek. A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of malt and citrus and vanilla - a bit odd. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw and light notes of malt, leading to a lightly bitter finish. Boring.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Slightly hazy pilsener golden with a small, off-white head. Very malty nose. Medium body with soft and rather sweet, malty notes - almost like the juice of soaked wheat. Decent as such, but not clean and crisp as a Kölsch is supposed to be. No bitterness. 290306

From tap at the Pyramid taphouse in Walnut Creek. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is light cornish and crisp hoppy. Light fruity and mild malt flavoured. Light bodied. Crisp bitter and dry finish.

Deep blond color. Reminds me some German beer, but the poor ones, there is nothing special here.

(Best by 7/2/03, consumed 6/16/03): Clear pale golden body topped by quickly dissipating medium white head. Aroma is sweet and pine/herbal. Taste is apple up front, quickly turning to a grassy/herbal hoppiness. Dry acidic finish. Light watery body -- a lawnmower beer a touch above the average one.

Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas and tastes of light grass and some citrus and light caramel. Lightly malty sweet. Thinner body.

on tap-pours a thin white head and pale yellow color. Aroma is honey, wheat, musty. Taste is honey, wheat, musty, herbal, secondary flat (saaz?) hops, some pepper. OK effervescence.
