COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Josh's translation of the Spanish description: At first glance of it’s brilliant amber colour, you’ll see a lager beer in the Pilsner style. But this Kölsch is radically different. It is a smooth ale, but well-hopped. It has a lot of body and enjoys a fruity flavour, displaying the purity of its components. It is freshly aromatic, with a dry finish, a product of the hops. The alcohol content is 5% abv This style is well-suited to accompany cheese, and freshly picked produce.

DuffMan (4242) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 17, 2008
Deep hazy gld, moderate white head. Sweet malt aroma, a little cidery. Sweet malt flavour, almost caramel really, which seems bizarre given the style. Faintly fruity character, minimal bitterness. I’m no expert, but this doesn’t fit what a kolsch should be. My sample may be old (no date).

jcwattsrugger (8685) - Florida and, New Jersey, USA - MAY 26, 2008
660ml bottle-pours a thin white film that reduces to a ring of bubbles for a head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is light grain, secondary citrus. Taste is light grain-some sweet/caramel/crystal malt (the malt from the CA brewery), secondary grassy/citrus hops. Mild carbonation.

ante (3375) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JAN 6, 2008
Bottled at Monks Café, Stockholm. Hazy golden with a small white foam. Flowers, citric fruit and straw in the weak aroma. Light-bodied with notes of oranges, soap and straw with a dryish aftertaste of grass, orange-peels and straw. Quite refreshing if a bit dull carbonation.

georgekessel (68) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 4, 2008
Bottle at Six Acres; While this beer was certainly not a Kölsch it was quite pleasant to drink. Small tight white head (sorry Oakes, we must have had different batches), hazy golden straw color, smooth hints of various flavors including a touch of citrus, low hops, medium wet finish.

jazz88 (2384) - San Francisco, California, USA - DEC 11, 2007
Bottle in Beunos Aires. A light tea brown color with a white head. A strong floral and light fruit aroma. Quite nice so far. Light sweet malts with some of the floral elements coming through well. It finishes dry.

Gazza (726) - Worcester, Worcestershire, ENGLAND - OCT 27, 2007
Draught in Territorio bar, BsAs. Let’s get this straight - this isn’t a Kölsch!!! or at least it’s nothing like the 20 I drank in Koln... but besides that it’s a decent enough beer if a touch sweet (the way Argentines like their beer) with a lot of fruity esters and a complex malt/fruit flavour. Ends with some dryness although it’s mainly juicy malt all the way. Not a Kölsch but it’s not a bad beer.

TheGrandMaster (2308) - Auckland, NEW ZEALAND - OCT 19, 2007
Draught at the brewerys pub in Buenos Aires, a clear gold with a filmy head. A very light hoppy aroma. Dry and hoppy palate and grassy flavours.

Not much head. Nice yeast and hops aroma. Fruity and hoppy flavours, not much to style, but well balanced and flavourfull.
