Clear straw body with small off-white body. Aroma is mild sweet, hint of grass. Taste is mild sweet, with good grassy bitter from mid-body through to swallow. Nice aftertaste too. Crisp light body.

As close to Koln as any domestic I have tasted. Golden color with a a white head. Not as much lace as you would want from this style. Very clean. Noble hops and the slight corn flavor from being cold conditioned ale.

Fourth stop during Wisconsin Trip #2 and one of 11 brews offered at this small town brewpub at any time. Pours a pale golden orange/yellow, clear brew, with small white head foam visable quickly rising to the surface. The white head quickly fades to a small ring, but the ring lasts for a while. Aroma has sweet grain malt aroma with a hint of grassy hops. The taste is sweet, wheat malt with grassy hops and some yeast. Light bodied, clean cut and crisp with light carbonation.

A moderately good summer kolsch with a lot of crispness. However, it’s a bit watery. Visible flecks of yeast can be seen floating in the growler - interesting! Average in its class.

On tap at Rowlands Calumet Brewery. Straw yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is buttery with wheat and malt. Taste is overrun with diacetyl with some wheat and malt hiding in the background. Crisp finish and the worst of the beers I tried on this visit.

Draft at Old Fashioned. Filtered orange tan. Thin head. Buttery, definitely susceptible to the Calumet diacetyl curse. Completely missing the mark, should embarrass the brewer. Grainy, buttery, nasty swill.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a clear honey colour with a small thin white head. Moderately malty, with a slightly bitter finish. Somewhat grainy at times, with flavors of almonds, carrots and corn.
