Callys Kolsch

Formerly brewed at Cally’s Restaurant & Brewing Co. (formerly Calhoun’s)
Style: Kölsch
Harrisonburg, Virginia USA

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

Draft at Cally’s. Hazy straw yellow tending to gold. Not much in the nose, flavors of corn, straw, grass and a touch of lemon/lime citrus. Pretty refreshing, a light style.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours pale yellow with rising carbonation, faint white head. the aroma resembles lemongrass with some sweet honey. The flavor is an odd mix of honey, corn, and freshly-mown hay. It dries out a little toward the finish and leaves a grassy aftertaste.

Draft - When I envision a Kolsch I think of a Straw/yellow colored beer with a marshmellow thick, huge white head. This had the color correct. I real biscuit aroma with a grassy, citrus malty flavor. A nice dry finish.

I found this one really strange tasting. Clear, pale gold with not much head. NOt much aroma. Flavor was fairly bland with some sweetness, and some strange flavor that reminded me of gravy. NOt a favorite at all.

Pale gold with a white head. Biscuity aroma with a touch of citrus. Sweet, citrusy flavor with a light grassy hop finish. Better than I expected from a brewpub Kolsch.

Very clear, very pale yellow. This one is moving in on light lager territory with the color. Lightly grassy, lightly lemony aroma. Lively palate, slight tingling hop bitterness in the finish. Light wheaty malt.

On tap at the brewpub. Pale gold colour. Gentle biscuity aromawith a touch of honey. Delicate and light on the palate, with some fruity, peachy notes. nicely refereshing, if a touch bland. Listed as 5.0% when I had it.
