Pours an effervescent, hazy straw color; thick, textured white head with beautiful retention and lacing that lasts forever; champagne-like effervescence that constantly replenishes the head; gorgeous pour. Very pleasant, dry mineral bitterness in the aroma; bone dry, clean, slightly reserved, with a bit of lime or citrus coming through. Mouthfeel follows suit; dry doughiness at the core, with generous, spritzy mineral and citrus bitterness throughout; perfect feel and mineral dryness in the mouth; generous bitterness without becoming chewy; an awesome, flawless Kölsch. Medium, dry finish, with lingering mineral bitterness and biscuity notes.

Taste is sweet grain, grassy, lemon/light crisp hops. Light body. OK effervescence. acrdz (4248), Pennsylvania, USA Feb 20, 2008 Growler shared by kmweaver. Hazy brilliant yellow/wheat colored body under a thin white head. Wonderfully fresh nose of lemon grass, pillowy yeast, wheat, dough, very light, airy and fresh smelling, with a hint of pils crackers malt. Flavor is mildly sweet, well-balanced, focusing on lemon grass, wheat, more crackers malts, some dough - properly crisp, and the body stands up well as it should in this style. A very delicious psuedo-Kolsch. ryan (1682), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Feb 19, 2008 Growler courtesy of kmweaver. Hazy, straw body with a small white head. Sweet, herbal hose with grass, honey, light lemon and corn sugar. The flavor is moderately sweet with honey, corn sugar, herbs, lots of grass and light oxidation.
