Brew Kettle Kolsch

Brewed by The Brew Kettle/TBK Production Works
Style: Kölsch
Strongsville, Ohio USA

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

22 oz Bottle that I can only assume was bottled in 2005. Pours a very good-looking golden brown with a wispy lite white head. Slow and med. size bubbles. The aroma has malt, and leather and (sadly) a bit of rubbing alcohol (actually the only thing I found offensive about this brew). As for the taste, leather comes to mind, as does lite wood and hops. The body is somewhat watery with a dryish finish. I know this description is not very appealing but the beer is OK. While I was not that impressed, I drank the whole bottle and I would not turn it down if given in the future.

Dark golden color (surprised, I thought it would be a lighter color), medium sized head, pretty good lacing. Aroma was malty and lightly sweet. Taste is bready malts, some fruityness, medium bodied, light bitterness is always in the background.

Bottle: Deep gold body w/ a short lived white head. Sanitizer predominates! Very light malt comes in second, then a stronger fruitiness. Sanitizer still very apparent in the flavor, light fruitiness, well balanced. Highly carbonated, smooth! Not a very good Koelsh IMHO, but not a horrible beer! Bland, boring, but better than BMC crap, even with santizer!
