AndrewKScott (340), Lemont, Illinois, USA Jun 28, 2008 I overheard a conversation between a bartender and a patron in a St. Louis bar about how Saint Louis Brewery was going to make a lot of money as an alternative to Bud while nursing this beer. It made me realize that even a beer as boring as this is an amazing alternative to any AB product. When I say "nursing" I mean trying very hard to finish the beer, while it had a decent citrus hop profile, there are some strange off flavors here. I wouldn’t drink this again.
DerBiermeister (374), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Aug 31, 2008 This beer is light, yet well balanced and bodied as stated on the bottle itself. It has flavour and yet is not overpowering. This is probably my favourite Koelsch - arguably even better than my favourite authentic Koelsch from Koeln (Cologne, Germany) called Frueh.
Sehr gut! Ausgezeichnet! Daumen hoch!
(Very good! Excellent! Thumbs up!)
~ Z ~ bhensonb (2887), Woodland, California, USA Aug 13, 2008 Bottle from the Beergeek. Amber gold, nearly orange, color with a minimal white head. Aroma of mild malt and light, fruity hop. Near medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor is a bit caramel, which seems odd for the style, and the hop is quite light, just enough for balance, which seems right for the style. About as light and smooth as kolsch should be, just a bit too much malt. rkuhnel (1102), Eureka, California, USA Aug 10, 2008 From the brewpub in St. Louis, this draft pour was a clear light yellow with a very small white head and almost no lacing. Nose is very mild and of ripe fruit. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is of caramel malts and some grassy hops. Slightly bitter finish. A pretty bland beer. kidmartinek (724), austin, Texas, USA Aug 10, 2008 Pours clear golden and has good bubbling. Small white head. Aroma is light and fruity like straw or raspberries. Flavor is clean fine malt. Some bitterness develops of the finish as does a very small amount of yeasty sourness.
ilherps (52), USA Jul 28, 2008 There wasn’t much to this one at all. Tasted a lot like a summer beer from a macro brewery. Some citrus and maltiness, but nothing special.
