A light gold color with a very slight amount of chill haze. Pours with a thick creamy white head. Has a hop candied fruit aroma to it. Very light tasting, not sweet, but has that candied hop flavor to it anyway. This beer has a light acidic bite up front from the carbonation. Finishes with a light bitterness.

Sweet aroma, some honey, flowers, and light malt. Light golden color, gently hazed with plenty of effervescence and a creamy head that diminishes. Sweet, almost sugary malt up front, finishing with a light-handed blend of spicy, fruity hop flavors. Light-bodied, palate is a bit fizzy and slightly creamy, mostly watery. Works on the level of a thirst quencher and nothing more.

Pale gold with a light summer style head to it. Not a lot on the nose, but very clean and crisp malt to it. Good summer starter.

(draft) Clear apple juice with minimal head. Aroma and taste are mild and slightly sweet -- inoffensive, not much to it.

Clean and crisp. Pale golden color. Slight flavor reminiscent of a Grolsch off the tower. Probably a good summer beer.

I am usually a fan of the Kolsch, but this one was not great. Not too many beers of this style are available here in AZ. Golden in color, little to no head. crisp malty flavor up front with a floral hop finish (just like the label states). Finish was refreshing and clean.

Golden color, small head. Slightly hopped, mildly malted light tasting golden ale. Clean finish. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. Nice beer, but not a lot of flavor.
