Commercial Description:
This rich golden ale is made in the classic Kolsch tradition. It is slightly fruity and the use of German hops provides a perfect balance to the finish.

Appearance: hazy, light yellow, apparent carbonation, with a lush, lacey and crystaline white head. Aroma: spicy, dry, somewhat citric, with a touch of honey. On the tongue, tingly and tasty, smooth and light. Body is very light, drinkability through-the-roof. A very nice rendition of the kolsch style with such a vibrant spark that it reminded me of a Belgian golden ale, at times. A perfect delight!

Easily the best Kolsch I’ve ever had. Very fruity, which I found unusual, almost belgian-esque. The thing that impressed me the most was the burnished golden color, cloudy and unfiltered. Much like a good hefeweizen. While not my favorite style, this is going to be my personal choice for summer heat and BBQs. The best light bodied beer I’ve had in a long time.
