Pours a clear pale golden color with a thin layer of alabaster bubbles. Aroma is of light grains, citrus, grass and earth. The flavour was heavy on the corn and sugar with a bit of malt chiming in. The finish lingered and the body was thin. Rather boring. Not my fave style either.

It was alright, poured a clear amber with a small white head. Not too hoppy, but also not that full of a taste. Not my favorite, but it was alright.

Decent beer. Poured out of a 12 oz bottle. Not my tradtional favorite style. Nice alchol percentage. Definitely sticks by it’s name as it does have a bite to it. Ok...

12 oz. bottle I received as a bonus from unclemike. Pours a crystal clear gold with a thin-moderate white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left no lace whatsoever. Harsh grainy aroma. The flavor is similar with a harsh grainy flavor followed by some very mild hops bitterness. Some sweetness sneaks in midway as well that doesn’t mesh well either. Thin bodied. This is just not a very good beer.

Moderate golden color, with very little head (maybe its just the old variety pack i have, because they’re all this way). Fairly sweet, but uncomplicated flavor that finishes just a tad bitter. Very refreshing and easy to drink. It’s actually quite enjoyable, and i think a bit underrated.

Pours medium gold with thin quick head. Aroma is grainy, grassy and damp hay. Flavour persists with the earthy hay and a light maltiness, light grassy bitterness to the finish. Not too bad once I got by the wet hay tones. I didn’t realize it was a kolsch until now but it fits.

The color is a golden yellow with a diminishing white head. The aroma is a slight grain. The flavor is pretty non-descript, probably not bad compared to a macro.

Pale gold color with a decent head. Smell is slightly fruity and hoppy. Lager typical smell with a light malty taste. Not that impressive my least favorite Flying Dog beer.
