Bottle, thanks Sebastian. Pale golden, big bubbles, white foam. Light dusty and citric nose. Dry herbal hops, almost like a north german pils, crunchy malt, citric overtones retronasal . Dry hop aftertaste, quickly petering off.

Bottle. Clear yellow / golden color with a large good lacing white head. Aroma is light malty, hay, light yeasty. Flavor is moderate sweet and ligth to moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is light, texture is watery, carbonation is soft.

Fully clear gold, initially big bubbles to fluffy, very white head, fast gone. Vanilla and fresh grain, bit spicey nose (dry leaf spices), herb. Dry, grainy and pale malts taste with restrained sweetness. Little bitterness that is not quite clean enough to be called hoppy. Sweet impression always remains threatening, without bursting through. Definitely grist slickness, and quite some restsugars. Despite diminishing carbonation, a bit fizzy all through. Reasonable Kölsch, quite acceptable, even if a bit Pilsner-oriented, certainly from the bottle.

Bottle. Dark golden colour with a large white head. Sweet, fruity and grainy aroma. Malty and lightly hoppy taste, with a light bitter finish. Medium bodied, crisp and refreshing. Not bad; unremarkable, inoffensive...

Bottle: Pale golden, mid-sized fluffy head; faint fruity (pears) and grainy nose, kind of perfumed; mild, slightly bitter-sweet flavour; short, mild bitter fruity finish. Not unpleasant, quite well drinkable "low budget" Kölsch................

(bottle) Clear golden colour with a small foamy white diminishing head. Slightly sweet malty aroma with a fruity tinge and also a light hoppiness. Almost dry malty start with fruity notes, moderately bitter hoppy finish, slightly metallic. Still a drinkable low-price Kölsch.

Good Kölsch, low price. Light hop, light malt, low bitterness. Very Good Kölsch!

Bottle, from a cheapo Supermarket in Köln. Deep goldd, shortlived white head and low condition. Gentle malt and hop aromas with a hint of soapiness, low sweet chalky malt in the mouth that lingers into the finish. After the Felskrone Kölsch this was a pleasure, but still unimpressive.
