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.

Drank this beer in the Antares brewpub in Bariloche (Argentina). Had the sampler of the different beers on draught. Very light and fruity beer.

Panzerfaust (462) - Hanga Roa, Easter Island, CHILE - JUN 19, 2006
UPDATED: NOV 2, 2006 Pours a hazy yellow color with a medium white head that lingers for a couple of minutes. Aroma is buttery with hints of herbs, grass and some milk. Isn’t a Kölsch supposed to be fruity? There are only faint hints of fruits. Sweet, slightly fruity flavor but again there are buttery notes with minimal bitterness. Hops are very lightly used. Body is light, like a Premium Lager. Texture is watery. The finish is short and metallic with a weak aftertaste. My first Kölsch and I’m not impressed. I’m looking forward to taste some true german example.

Many thanks to <a href=http://ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=5855& for this bottle.

Lilith (242) - Santiago, CHILE - JUN 17, 2006
Hazy to cloudy light yellow body. Small white rocky head. Feeble aroma, mostly sweet with hints of toasted grains, sugar cane, and something that reseambles sweat. The flavor is consequently very light, sweet with a smooth bitternes at the end. Watery texture, light body and softly carbonated. I’d say, in general, that the whole beer if weak.

Hazy blonde with a thin white head. Light lemony aroma, with tart lactic acid notes. In mouth, a lambic like confection, not bad, but this isnt a lager or a kolsch!!!Medium bodied. On tap at Patio Cervecero, BAires, 5$AR.
