Wow, this was bad. Devoid of any real flavor or substance. I actually enjoy a Kolsch from time to time, but this is just bad.

Medium head with a cloudy light yellow beer. Smells a bit flowery. Drinks like a light lager. Not a lot more to say about it.

Bottled.I didn’t find this as awful as some of the other raters did. I was surprised that it was a kolsch though, it certainly doesn’t taste much like a Reissdorf or a Gaffel - more like a watery Duvel?

This tasted like a better quality bud light. This tastes like the beer that Flying Dog made to try and convert bud/miller light drinkers to drink their beer. Not bad but definitely not good. I’ll only say that it was good quality for the ingredients added which tasted like mostly corn sugar with light malt. Won’t buy again but would recommend to mild beer drinkers over other light beers because Anheuser -Busch beers taste like anus.

Bottle. Pours clear and light gold with a soapy head. Lots of barley in the nose with some corn and papery hops. Flavor is heavily doughy. Wow, the finish really brings the dough character full circle. Think uncooked wheat rolls. Some pretty nice wood flavor comes through, maybe a tart citrus note. You know, this is pretty thin and uneventful, just not up my alley. However,it is pretty clean. I don’t get much off flavor on this one. It’s a decent ale for someone who might usually reach for a light lager.

Very golden with light bubbles rising in straight lines to form a thin white ring. Nice aroma of honey and summer grasses. Thin and watery. Slight hint of citrus fruit, maybe lemon. A little bit of grass. Some toasted hops. This would be pleasing in the summer.

June 2006 - Snore. Pour looked like a macro adjunct lager and didn’t taste all that different. Slightly fruity/citrusy flavor. I haven’t had many Kolsch’s, but if they all taste like this, I’ll pass in the future. Snore.

Big hop bouguet from a golden body with a nice snow white head. Malt/wheat/toast flavor with a nice hop bite at teh end, medium to light mouth feel. Great session beer.
