Aroma is heavy malt (grainy, meal, cereal), light hops (spicy), and light esters (fruity) with notes of ginger and vegetable.

Sampled at the brewery. Pours a clear palr yellow with white head. Lightly corny and semi sweet grassy hop. Pretty decent and refreshing for what it is, but nothing to write home about.

Thanks to dkachur for sharing. Clear yellow with a thin head. Aroma was spiced honey and hops. Taste was the same with a sweet finish.

From a sampler at the brewpub. Pours a pale straw yellow with a thin head, low retention and poor lacing. Grainy aroma of honey and bitter hops. Taste is grain, bitter hops and honey. Medium bodied.

On tap at brewery. Clear bright yellow with a fizzy white head. Faint vanilla grain aroma and taste with a brassy finish.

From growler, with Kinz. Crystal clear golden body with a small frothy white head. Sweet grassy aroma with some light malt. Clean malty flavor with some honey and grassy hops. Medium light body with moderate carbonation and a smooth clean finish.

Finally got to sample this, thanks to Rob and his growler. Poured a brilliantly clear medium towards light gold, slight head. Aroma was faintly of clean malts. Flavor was straight clean malt and a very light touch of slightly floral hops. Dry finish. This was exactly what I expect from a Kolsch, and I was very pleasantly surprised at how clean the flavor was. Very well done.
