COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In Cologne, Germany, many a brewery produces a light-bodied ale with a delicate fruitiness and rounded maltiness, attributable to the unique yeast strain commonly used. Our Kölsch is unfiltered and more generously hopped than its German cousin. Brewed with Gambrinus Organic Pilsner and Munich malt and Perle hops. 5.2% ABV, 40 BU

Bronze with light cover. Decent carbonation and a ring of head. Refreshing, breezy, grained nose leads to a slightly sweet, mellifluous, medium-bodied grainy flavor. For me, this one was more flavorful and enjoyable than the run-of-the-mill Kolsch.

dchmela (2218) - Orlando, Florida, USA - APR 22, 2011
Tap at the brewery. Pale yellow pour with a thin white head. Musty earthy hop aroma. Smooth crisp malt, light body with an earthy hop bite. Would like more fruitiness out of this, but decent.

Hophazard (193) - San Francisco, California, USA - FEB 28, 2011
Slight hay aroma. Hazy straw pour with thin white head. Crisp, pislner taste with bread on the finish. Thin, effervescent mouthfeel. A grassy, slightly fruity Kolsch. Would be refereshing on a summer day.

sblakey (15) - Seattle, Washington, USA - DEC 28, 2010
UPDATED: DEC 29, 2010 Draft. Pale yellow, with minimal head. A little yeasty favor, with a nice tickle of fizz in the back of my throat.

(Draught) Sampled at GCBF 2010 on September 11, 2010. Cloudy amber. Nose is strong with lemony citrus. Slightly lactic taste with metallic and citrus swill finish.

DuffMan (4238) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - SEP 18, 2010
GCBF 2010. we had a good laugh at my notes on this one. Clearly I was not impressed, and a little hammered when I penned my profound observations: "So many Kolsches are like this, fuck whatever, NOT A KOLSCH!" (1.7)

jonas (4501) - Garching b. München, GERMANY - SEP 11, 2010
Tap. Light yeast aroma. Cloudy yellow. Light fruity spicyness on straw malt. Hay finish. Medium body, sparkling mouthfeel. Misses it’s mark.

mcberko (2187) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 11, 2010
Sampled at GCBF ’10, pours yellow blonde with a white head. This one was sadly underwhelming - bland flavours of pale malt, rice and light hops. Not good.
