Bottle. Clear, light golden body with a small, but frothy white head. The light aroma is mostly malty with notes of cereal and grain, but there are some floral hops. The flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter from beginning to end, though it gains some bitterness in the finish. There is also a peppery taste that develops. Light to medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. I expected this "light" Kolsch from Flying Dog to be clean and crisp, but it wasn’t.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a nice pale golden color with a small white head. The head fades quickly. Aroma seems to be on the lacking side. Some mineral, a little bitterness, and a little grain. Medium carbonation with an astringent, crisp mouthfeel. Very big cracker notes, solid hop bitterness, on the chalky side. Lacks a distinguished taste. Finishes pretty clean. Honestly not the best Kolsch by any means and I probably won’t do this beer again.

Poured a very nice pale golden color. An attractive white head formed on top and it lasted the whole time I drank the beer. The lacing was good as well. The aroma smelled sweet and grainy. The flavor started out nicely grainy followed by some hops. It finisheed with a nice grain flavor.

12 oz bottle from a variety 12 pack purchased at EZ Liquors. Pours a clear gold with a quickly disipating small white bubbly head. Vegtable and grain aroma with flavors of crisp grains and biscuit. Ah nothing to write home about but drinkable in a nonchallenging let’s drink some beers type of way.

Bottled. Pours out in a clear golden colour with a small white foam. Grass, biscuits, straw and mild lemon in the aroma. Medium to lihjy-bodied with touches of biscuits, straw, wet grass and mild lemon. Rather short finish of straw, grass and dough. Not that funny.
