Eisenbahn Kölsch (Dourada)

Brewed by Cervejaria Sudbrack
Style: Kölsch
Blumenau, Brazil

12oz bottle batch 06. Some mellow lemon with wheat araoma. Gold body with good white heat some lacing. Averge swill flavors of wheat grain malt and some lemon in there. Bitter finish decent brew on 100 degree day.

bottle: plain water like thin light stale not much of anything. kolsch? where?

Bottle purchased at D’s Six Pax. I wish there was a better bottle shop here in PGH. Pours orangish gold, thin white head. Aroma is hoppy and malty. Flavor is the same, pretty malty with some meatiness. The body is bread-like and more substantial than I expected.

The color on this is not incredibly appetizing. But the flavor makes up for the lack of visual enticement. Toasted grain, bread, yeast flavors. Cooling me off on this hell of a summer day. Aroma is wheat bread as well. A little carbonated bubbly finish plays on your tongue for a while after you swallow.

I wasn’t particularly encouraged by the rich copper rust colour, indicating the potential for sweet malt overload perhaps? Aromas are very simple, sweet, and perhaps have a slight corny / adjunct feel. Palate is certainly quite dimensional with the simple cheap malt overlay but the palate structure is quite correct, finishing with a minerally dryness that one would typical expect in the style. It’s not fair dinkum Kolsch but it’s quite loveable.

Golden body/white head. Sweet malt. Very fruity (cherry) mild finish. Odd. Not well balanced . Too fruity for a Kolsch. Better than expected, but just ok.

Pours bright gold into a shaker. Bright white micro head with excellent retention leaves slight lacing. Sour malt aromas. Crisp and carbonated with caramel from front-to-back. Abrupt, clean finish.

Clear orange, medium carbonation. Fruity aroma, grapes perhaps, some herbal hop and some sulfur to it. Faint flavor of malt, with bitter faint aftertaste. Too much water. Eisenbahns has better beers.
