Dec 8, 2009 Bottle from Total Wine, Durham. I’m tempted to enter a new style designation: sour kolsch. I don’t know where the problem originated (brewer or TW’s storage issues), but it’s a doozy. Nothing wrong with the appearance, which is lively and heavily carbonated (mild gusher seems the least of the beer’s demerits). But there’s a slight dankness overpowering the light hops and fruit flavors in the nose. And as you sip, it becomes far more than slight. Drain pour.

Nov 19, 2009 12oz and 1L bottle. Pours a bright orange with a two finger white head. Smell is minimal with some cereal like grains and a bready yeast. Taste is biscuity with some tartness and sweet caramel. A strange bitter flavor throughout. Hardly any carbonation, flat.

Oct 8, 2009 Serving: Draft
Appearance: Pale, slightly hazy gold color with a foamy white head.
Aroma: Light nose with notes of corn and grain.
Flavor: A litte malty and a tad sweeter than it should be in my mind. A little on the watery side to boot. Slight honey, floral, corn, and grain notes.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a light, watery mouthfeel and a short finish. It has this odd coating effect on the tongue too.
Overall: Skip it. It really doesn’t fall into the Kolsch category.

Mar 24, 2009 Taste 3/9 bottle. Looks: Pale gold with a thin white foam. Aroma: Citrus, banana, straw. Taste: Not that good, not too bad. Not crisp, bland and not a very well blended mix of brew. Sticky and sweet and citrus without any spice or cleanliness in the finish.

Mar 20, 2009 The aroma is malty, with sour dough, dust, and a touch of fruit. The appearance is hazy gold with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma with a touch of grass. The palate is thin. Overall this is not very good.
