ATLBeerDog (142), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jun 20, 2008 Pours a very light orange pale with not much carbonation. No head. Light smells of yeast. First taste is rather bland followed by a slight bitterness. Very light and mild. More flavor than I expected.
doboy (52), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Aug 19, 2008 A little heavy for a Kolsch but still good. Nice nose greated with a light white head. Poured a clear yellow. taste was good, some fruit and maltiness. carbonation was good but mouthfeel was a little heavy for style. Nice for a state side Kolsch. Good for sessions! nearbeer (1199), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Aug 16, 2008 12 oz, bottled June 08. foggy orange-amber with a half-inch lasting head and some nice soapy lace. Earthy-sweet honey and cereal aroma. Flavor is grain, lemon, cardboard and a hint of honey. Near-medium body is soft, dry and lightly carbonated.

Aroma - Grain, grass, light fruit, floral
Appearance - Crystal clear yellow gold, healthy white head that settles slowly, lace is delicate, but lasting
Flavor - Sweet fruity flavors and light malt start quickly, very gently bitterness builds into the finish.
Palate - Light body and carbonation, nice mouthfeel, smooth, lightly dry
Overall - Good flavor, refreshing, balanced, but maltier that the few German examples that I’ve had.
