HogTownHarry (3175), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Feb 21, 2008 Draught. At Dieu du Ciel. Very pale yellow, with a smallish white head. Gentle, simple sweet malt and fresh grassy aroma - mild for sure, but appealing. The taste - the same, really; simple, delicate, clover/timothy sweet, lightly grainy and floral, crisp and quick off the palate, where it was briefly light, mildly carbonated, and dry. Pleasant. GregClow (2318), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 12, 2008 Draught (6 oz. sample) at Dieu du Ciel! Clear gold with a creamy white head. Aroma and flavour are subtle and well-balanced with lightly toasted malt and herbal, grassy hops. Simple, clean and refreshing - just what I expect from a Kölsch. ABUSEDGOAT (1882), California, USA Jan 1, 2008 Clear golden. Aroma is lighter fruits, straw. Light bodied, very drinkable and forgettable compared to everything else there. Glouglouburp (1915), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jan 16, 2007 Blonde body with a very small white head. Aroma of dandelion. Taste of cereals, some citrus/peach/lemon and more dandelions. Mildly bitter finish. Another Kolsch that doesn’t do it for me. I don’t understand what is there to appreciate in those glorified golden ales. Maybe I’m just being an old kolschmuck. tupalev (2285), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 6, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. My second ever Kolsch. Almost exact same medium yellow as the paienne - but more of a white head. Decent lemon/citrus mild aroma. nice lemon citrus taste - light and refreshing (again, lighter than the paienne). Some interesting hops present. Would make for a great summer quencher.
