Pours a light, thin straw color with he tiniest bit of an orange hue. Thin head and negligible lacig as it goes down. Nose is pretty light with wheat but brigs forward some fruity elements. I get a bit of lemon and maybe some tangerine. Flavor draws back a bit with some wheat and a bit of hops. Some fruity elements remain. Mouthfeel is light and crisp. Not too much flavor, but a nice feel and good drinkability.

Bottle. Pours a bright golden blonde color with a half-inch of fizzy white head that dissipates almost instantly. The aroma is grainy with strong notes of lemon citrus and apricots. The flavor begins with cereal malt and biscuits followed by grassy hops, citrus and white grapes. Mouthfeel is dry and crisp with heavy carbonation and a clean, grainy finish. Summer Seasonals just need to be light and refreshing so I’d say this one fits the bill. Style wise, it’s very similar to a Golden/Blond Ale.

Clear gold pour, minimal head and lace. Light body, lemon zest, balanced, clean finish, sessionable. Not much of a Kolsch fan, but this is lovely.

bottle. Pours clear orange tiny white head which eventually reduces to nothing. Aroma slightly of vegetables, and fruity too. Subtle citrus with carrots. Flavor is medium bodied, smooth, crisp, nice bite. I actually like it better out of the bottle, and kind of think that may be the way they intended it to be drank. Overall, a good beer.

Big thanks to my pal Dave for bringing this back from alaska for me. Pale lager appearance without much bubbly going on. Quite strong alky slightly tart or vinegar aroma. Taste is clean sharp pilsner pointed. Bitter and impressive for a kolsch. Expected something much milder. The alky content listed here is 5.3% but this stuff seems to be well over 6%. Yep, seems alky strong fer sure. One of the strongest tasting kolsch I’ve had for a while. Long bitter pilsner medicine linger.
