Eisenbahn Kölsch (Dourada)

Brewed by Cervejaria Sudbrack
Style: Kölsch
Blumenau, Brazil

12 oz. bottle. Light aroma of ? LIght copper color with a fizzy white head that fizzed away. Near medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Light malty flavor with a bit of bitter. Quite pleasant. Did go with sushi.

Nice interesting label on this brown bottle. Almost astringent aroma, like cooked leaf veggies. Ubiquitous pale yellow american beer appearance. Nearly flat but has some creamy fine carbonation to it. No hop bitterness but there is a malt alky bite on the palate. Almost offensive on the finish but never quite gets there. IMHO one of the better eisenbahns I’ve tasted.

12oz bottle. Pale tan-orange color, transparent. Sweet sugary malt aroma. Taste is sweet and malty, a little more full bodied than most Kolschs. In it’s defense there is nothing on the bottle that would indicate that this is anything but a Brazilian Golden Ale. Fruity finish with a nice crisp hop balance. A very nice session beer.

Bottle poured a clear golden amber with a small lasting off white head. Aromas of straw, light carmel and light fruitiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of bread, light carmel and a hint of fruitiness with a crisp clean finish.

Bottle. Head is initially small, fizzy/frothy, white, fully diminishing. Body is dark yellow to light amber. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain/bread, malt syrup), lightly hoppy (flowers). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. Sweeter/maltier than most true Kölsch, and it suffers from a lackluster mouthfeel and appearance, but the nose is pretty good. Good for where it’s from, but nothing special in the grand scheme.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at John’s Market Place in Portland, Oregon. Pours a clear golden pale brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates to a thin white ring. Aroma of semi-sweet multi-grain malt, some flowery hops and some fruity character. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of multi-grain malt, light fruit, powdered sugar and some light pears. Finish is thin and slightly watery with a fruity bread aftertaste that quickly disappears.

From Skyview. Gold color with no head. Dry malt aroma and a dry grain taste. Not offensive, but very much run-of-the-mill.

12 oz bottle from my SS07. Pours a clear golden orange with a little white head. Aroma of belgian yeast, candi sugar and grain. Clean lager flavors. Pears, golden apples, sweet light sugarry finish. Watery body. But decent for what it is.
