Flavor moderate sweet and finish light bitter. Dastrn (115), Warsaw, Indiana, USA Oct 1, 2008 Poured clear and golden.
The nose was apple malts, and a touch of grass.
The flavor had just a bit more hops than I expected. It wasn’t terribly complex, but for the style, I was very satisfied with the balance between the malts and hops.
Mouthfeel was smooth and clean, leaving a tiny bite in the back of my mouth.
All around, I was very pleased with this Kolsch. Nothing crazy, nothing shocking, but very tasty and very drinkable! oh6gdx (8795), Vasa, Finland Sep 30, 2008 Bottled@SBWF2008.
