Antares Kölsch

Brewed by Antares
Style: Kölsch
Mar del Plata - P. de Bs As, Argentina

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

No Argentine beers available where I live other than Patagonia, so finding this one at Brewery Creek was a pleasant surprise. This head was almost miniscule, being thin, white, and gone in a flash. The body was a hazy dark gold, and the aroma featured mostly hops. The taste was hopped along with what might’ve been some caramel-like sweetness. Mouthfeel and finish were quite enjoyable.

Really nice easy drinking beer. Some dyacetil is present like in All antares beer but it’s well suited in this beer

Bottled. Hazy golden, small head. Grassy, fruity nose. Medium sweet with clean flavour profile and crisp mouthfeel. Reasonably hoppy with a citric touch and some toffee. Susprisingly tasty!

Poured golden with a small white head. Nice floral aroma, grassy flavour with a lttle bitterness. Well balance, well crafted beer.

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

Got this bottle from nearby Supermercado Carrefour off the shelf, second in, Recoleta, Buenos Aires. I can see what they’re trying to do here, while not really succeeding as a Kolsch, it’s not a bad brew. Poured with a white head and a little lace. Has a hazy golden color. Aroma is malty, a little earthy, a hint of hop, and grain. Flavor’s about the same with a little sweetness. Carbonation is decent. Maybe just a tad thin. Good finish. Not a Kolsch, but very drinkable. I’d get it again.

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

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.
