4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: JUN 16, 2011 Any first impressions?
-A sheet of head laces atop the translucid golden.
-Aroma is of subtle and crisp pils malts, with milky accents.
-Very pleasant haystack maltiness and peppery, herbal hop finish building with every sip, without being very vocal early on.
-Carbonation projects the hops in the last half, easing the sipping. This is one cuddly, effervescent mouthfeel.
What if you dig deeper?
-Citrusy fruitiness appears in the finish, enhancing drinkability.
-Interesting balance in here, in that malts precede hops in the flavor attack, but both contribute equally, especially in the tantalizing finish.
-As Kölsches should be, quenching pitchers of humility. Elegance liquefied.
On tap at the brewpub.

Herbal, leafy, lemon citrus hops are gentle but notable in the soft and inviting grainy aroma. Brilliantly clear golden body with plenty of rising bubbles is topped by a generous and lasting, pilloy white head that recedes slowly to a lasting cover with some lacing. Grainy malts are perfectly blended with a light fruitiness and medium bitterness with some herbal and lemon-citrus hop flavours. Light, crisp, dry and refreshing in the mouth. Leaves you expecting the next sip. Enjoyed on tap at the brewpub.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at the brewpub. Very pale, crystal clear, straw coloured brew. Aroma is lightly floral, crisp and fresh with a lovely soft pale maltiness. Crackery and crisp and very fresh. Clean and tasty. Man, they nailed this one.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
10 ounce sample on tap at the brewpub. Aroma is bright, grassy, spicy, metallic with hints of lemon. Nice doughiness is also present. Nicely aromatic. Sightly hazy straw-colored body with a nice bubbly white head. Leaves good lacing. Grassy, spicy, hoppy start. Has some astringency in the middle with lots of chewy, doughy malts. Finishes highly hopped and quite bitter. Seems a bit hoppy for the style. Very reminiscent of a crisp pils. Tasty nonetheless.

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.

Un verre à Montréal. Une bière jaune scintillante. Une mousse blanche impeccable. Une dentelle, évidement. Un nez qui se balance entre les houblons (quelle puissance!) et les malts pils qui s’enrobent d’une certaine douceur mielleuse. Au goût, les saveurs florales et poivrés des houblons volent la vedette. Le malt n’est pas très loin, savoureux dans sa position. En bouche, le liquide possède une certaine rondeur. Son pétillement contribue à son caractère rafraîchissant. La texture est huileuse. La finale est un spectacle noble, justement amère et franchement agréable. Une version à 4,9% qui semble avoir évacuée toute trace citronnée.

Ma première de ce style, bu à DDC. Ça c’est une blonde que je reboirais, petit collet, arome intéressant d’houblon et d’agrume, un bon goût semblable et un peu gazeux. Molson Ex et Labatt 50, sèche!
