3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz. bottle via trade with IrishBoy - Pours a clear light golden color with a big white head that settles to a faint foam head on the way down. Nice lacing. Has a strong toasty, honey, bready malt aroma. Flavor is bready, light grain, and a touch of citrus. A smooth, medium body beer. Bitternes hangs on the palate. Probably the best Kolsch I’ve had. Nice. Thanks Richard.

Body is a slightly foggy gold, with not much of a head forming. Aroma is a bit of honey along with floral notes, and a light dose of hops. Taste is fairly floral and fruity, along with the normal 2 row taste. Body is too fizzy.

From 12oz bottle, had a good taste with some small amount of bitterness and a light malt flavor. A good refreshing brew that should be rated slightly higher.

Bottle courtesy of beerguy101, thanks again Mitch! Pours a hazy yellow with a bone white head that all but dissapears after a minute or so. Spicy, bready aroma...good amount of yeast...some pepper, lemon zest, and clove. The flavor has some candied fruit, more lemon zest and pepper and a spice I can’t put my finger on. Light body over the tounge, though the flavors stick throughout...it never gets thin. The carbonation is nice, present but not overbearing...I could go with a bit more actually. The finish is earthy and dry..a great light offering.

Thanks to Milo2 for this: Pours a deep filtered bubbly golden with a pillowy white head. Aroma is bready-sweet malts, no hops and a touch of yeast fruitiness but it is restrained. The body is med.-light, somewhat sweet for the style with a lot of CO2. The flavor is again, bready malts and lots of it. If this is US 2-row then I am VERY impressed. A nice touch of honey in the flavor. Finish is not as crisp as I might like and could use a touch more in the way of bitterness, but this is damn fine. One I could drink a lot of.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a golden color with a half in of foam. Has a wheaty-earthy flavor almost barnyard-like but this went down very easy and was quite a nice early eveing brew.

On tap at Drake’s. This yellow ale poured with almost no head. The flavor is sweet and light with a smooth finish. Quite refreshing and satisfying.
