Huge 750ml bottle courtesy of GregClow. Pours a slightly hazy bubbly yellow-gold with an average size frothy white head. Aroma of grain, yeast, light grassy hops, floral notes, some sugary sweetness and honey -- not too bad actually. Flavour’s sweet and grainy along with grassy hops, pale malt, biscuit and honey -- a little bit too sweet for my liking. Light, short bitter finish. Average bodied. Not bad, definitely one of the better Lagers available locally -- though not something I would choose to order, it’s still something I could easily drink.

Kölsch-style beer that comes in a 750ml swing-top ceramic bottle (I think it was $7.50 - apparently the bottle is quite expensive to source & costs about four dollars from the supplier.) All in all I was not blown away, but then I don’t generally drink Kölsch and just really wanted to try it. This is a beer that would ultimately make sports fans happy, refreshing with somewhat short/strong sweetish grain flavors, restrained fruitiness and a finishing lager ’edge’. I went back to it a few times & then relinquished it to the other BBQ drinkers while I enjoyed a Rogue ESB and a Welty with my nicely grilled burg. I look forward to more trips to Köln to explore this often poorly-appreciated style while searching for unusually good examples. I also want to try the Beau’s on tap if possible. Not sure why we ’need’ this type of beer in Ontario, but keep up the creative efforts Beau’s and I will keep an eye on your progress.

Bière dorée, claire et limpide, avec une mousse très mince au service, qui disparaît très vite. En général les habits ne font pas le moine, mais je dois noter l’apparence à la hausse seulement pour la splendide bouteille en terre cuite, vraiment fantastique! Ça me donnait le goût de la boire depuis un moment et pour une très rare fois, je vais essayer de garder la bouteille. Le parfum est discret, houblon floral et sucre, sent un peu le miel frais. Le goût est d’abord sucré, avec la note légèrement floral et mielleuse. Peut-être un peu de maïs. Le corps est mince à moyen, mais l’effervescence est intéressante. Un produit correct dans un emballage super, je ne l’oublierai pas de si tôt…

Golden colour that is a little hazy with white puffy head. Aroma is of cool malts and a little hint of grass. Over all flavour is non-confrontational light sweetness and a little bread and a light bitterness. Palate is medium.
