COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Centuries of resistance to lager brewing in the German city of Cologne resulted in this unique ale that has certain "lager-like" characteristics. It is malty, golden ale with a clean character and slightly dry 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.

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.

Yellow pour with white head and lacie. Paper and light malt aroma. Sweet corn, paper, and earthy hops. A bit thin and watery with good carbonation. Very refreshing beer.

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.

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.
