2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Tap. Not really sure this should be called a Kolsh. It was quite sweet, but there was also some toast and some alcohol in the nose. It was a bright gold color and made me thinking that this is what a good malt liquor would taste like. The flavor was very similar to the aroma, but there was more alcohol flavor that I think need to be there for a beer of this strength.

On tap @ brewery Looks like this beer should be unretired. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Light lacing. Aroma is light grain malt and faint esters. Flavor is light malt and esters with a touch of citrus. Light body. A decent beer.

Draft at Flour City Brewfest. I hope this is the one I tested there. I only wrote down ’Gold’ and ’Good with lite hops’ for this one.

UPDATED: JAN 1, 2005 cuts the edge of the style. Cloudy blonde, like my kids’ hair. Creamy mouthfeel. German pearly hops used, and some wheat. Citrus on the lemony side. Refreshing clean with nice finish not so dry. A winning summer brew. Tim, bottle this one please.

Lemon butter nose with floral hops. Golden yellow body with a faint head. Flowery hops continue into the flavor where they are decently balanced with malt and butterscotch. Citrusy aftertaste

Draft at brewery. Golden yellow colour with good clarity and white head that didn't stay too long. Bit of light grainy/grassy hops in the aroma, clean crisp flavour is dominated by a moderate bitterness with a good malt backbone, pretty well balanced. Slightly dry finish with a hint of astringency at the end.

Golden color, smaller white head, long lasting. Lighter herbal hop aroma with a bit of malt. Malt up front with a fair amount of hops behind it. Softer feel, crisp and clean. Not great but pretty drinkable.

Light, bright white head. True to Kolsch look but head lasted longer than in those I try before. Clean light aroma with slightly more accent on hops. Very soft like Kolsch blended with crisper more refreshing hop bite. That makes this beer very drinkable. If not presence of hops true Kolsch, very interesting hybrid Kolsch-IPA. Nice, more of that please!

Malty, flowery aroma, golden, with a small white head. Soft malt flavour, crisp, clean. A nice beer, but not a kolsch.

A nice delicate ale. Good hop and malt balance. Hoppy aftertaste. Decent brew
