Trade with DerDoppelbock , thanks Sebastian. Bürger Kölsch 4.8% Bottle. [Great two day tasting session @ Papsoe] Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Clear flat looking body with a pale yellow color. Spare lacework. Aroma of light grass, hint of cardboard, caramel. Over the palate hint of dusty grain. Light bodied with a soft carbonation and light dry texture. Light sweet malt and hint of bitter grassy flavor. Light dry and bitter finish.

[Bottle @ Papsoe] Clear golden with tiny head. Grassy aroma. Grassy flavor with discrete bitterness.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear yellow with a lacing white head. Aroma is fresh hoppy, flavour equally so. Slight bitter finish. Nice fresh brew.

Bottled (Thanks DerDoppelbock!). Yellowish golden colour, mediumsized white head, some lacing. Aroma is grass, hops and some slight sweetish notes. Flavour is sweet hops, and nice hoppyness. Also some slight herbal notes.

Clear golden pour, fair white head. Grainy, herbal nose that got the proportions between malt and hops quite right, but does not quite have the winning little something. I guess it could simply be fresher, but the bottle indicates still 2 months before expiring. Active carbonation accentuates the dryness, definitely Gaffel’s driest beer. Finishes short and lean.

Bottle, BB 13 09 07 Sparkling yellow body. Frothy white head. Soapy, hoppy aroma. Not very attractive nose. Moderately bitter flavour. Quite hoppy. Dry mouthfeel. Somewhat metallic.
