Commercial Description:
Effervescent, this summer brew is fashioned after the Kolsch biers that originated in Cologne, Germany, in the 1800s. Hallertau, Magnum, and Mount Hood hops combine for an especially clean, crisp finish.

Pours a fizzy, clear gold with a white head that fades to a ring of foam. The aroma is slightly peppery hops. The flavor is a sweet hay malt body that either needs to dry out or needs more bitterness to crisp this up a bit.

Pours light golden with a fully receding white head. Aroma of corn, cooked veggies, herbal hops, and general nastiness. Taste is adjuncts, corn, and some crisp lager breadiness. Mouthfeel is thin bodied with lively carbonation. Not really a Kolsch, and not the least bit good.

12 oz. brown longneck bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a weak yellow color, with barely a head to speak of. Aromas are of DMS to the max. Smells like rotten cabbage. Stale, cheesy smelling hops fill out the stank of this beer. Yeast is the wrong strain to boot. Kolsch yeast is clean, without much flavor, & certainly not any DMS to speak of. Thin body, thin mouthfeel also. Finished bitter, cheesy, and yeasty. Needs work guys. Serious work.

Bottle - sweet corn/barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with small head and mild effervescense. Lightly sweet malt flavor - very much like a German Koelsch. One of the better American Koelschs I’ve tried.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is macroish sour malts. The flavor is sweetish and yeasty with a vague hint of fruit. The macro tang tends to overpower the other flavors.

Surprisingly not bad, this Kolsch is more authentic tasting than their Bock. The beer is a pale golden with little to no head. However, it’s not a world beater. Crisp, refreshing, and balanced.

Clear golden pour with an initially huge white head, diminishing to a slight, yet noticeable film. Aroma is of grass and hay, with a little bit of malt. Mouthfeel is active and peppery. Taste is more of the grassiness, with a lot of yeast and a barely noticeable wheat presence. Finish is crisp. Nice body for a summer seasonal. OK brew. Surprised at the 2.6, it’s not that bad.
