COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A light German-style ale indigenous to Koln (Cologne). This ale is treated like a lager, undergoing extensive cold aging to produce a clean, crisp beer. All imported Muessdoerffer Pilsen and Munich malts and hops from the Hallertau region lend a balanced flavor to this ale.

A bit of a disappointment. Light aroma to this dark yellow pour. Should be much lighter in color. Carbonation was just OK. Taste was sweet and round, not crisp. Kind of a fuller feeling than a Kolsch has. A good try but not a strike! Outside for a ball. Sorry Blue Mountain!

Pours golden with a thin white head. Light aroma with some fruityness. Nice balance on the taste and palate. But, not super interesting.

DCLawyer (687) - Falls Church, Virginia, USA - FEB 10, 2013
Draft at Pizzeria Orso. Pours clear gold with small white head. Aroma and taste are light malt and grains. Clean and crisp, but average at best.

Emeister84 (434) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - JAN 31, 2013
Light strawberry, bread, and floral aromas. Clear gold with a moderately lasting, white head. Dry, fruity, and lightly bitter. Light bodied with moderate carbonation, and a short, clean, somewhat fruity finish.

RABinVA (681) - Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA - JAN 25, 2013
Bottle. Pours translucent gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma is cereal and honey. Taste is overly grainy with an off putting artificial sweetness. Crispy finish, but not great.

radagast83 (3104) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - JAN 20, 2013
Draft at the brewpub on 1/19/2013. Poured a mostly clear yellow color with a light, small white head. Aroma was some light crisp malt notes with some mild spice notes. This one was pretty crisp and refreshing and I enjoyed it, though it would have probably been more fitting if i was a little hotter outside.

ben4321 (2990) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - NOV 21, 2012
Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 11/21/12

Aroma: This one has a light malty nose with some cereal and grain notes
Appearance: It pours a clear gold orange with a small head and minimal lace
Flavor: The flavor is much like the nose, light-medium sweet, with clean malts, breads, and grains
Palate: This one has a fairly light body, just a hint watery, with a fairly short duration
Overall Impression:  This one wasn’t a favorite for me. It wasn’t a bad example of the style by any means, and I thought it was decently well made, but I just didn’t love.

SpringsLicker (2822) - Tennessee, USA - OCT 10, 2012
Clear gold pour with a white head. Sweet malt aroma that carries both honey and some spice. The flavor is lightly sweet and very clean, with enough hops to keep it crisp. Easy drinking, effervescent.

From the tap poured a golden color with a small amount of head. Light malty flavor with a quick finish.

Pours clear yellowish, no head. No real smell. Easy kolsch. Mild flavors of cereal and citrus with peppery bite. Clean finish.
