Chudwick (564) - Taylor Mill (KY), FRANCE - DEC 29, 2011
bottle - pours blond with white head. Aroma is hops (pilsner and kolsch type). I was under the impression this would be a golden ale and NOT a Kolsch. Is there no standard for appropriately labeling beer in the US? Disappointment aside, this is an OK beer - pretty light and easy to drink. Fairly flat and bitter taste-wise. ...Burp-y. Late malt quality.

Light amber Kölsch from the otherwise great brewery Flying Dog, Pilsner-like flavor with a little watery to taste, but definitely worth drinking

omegamike (90) - York, North Yorkshire, ENGLAND - DEC 26, 2011
Pours brilliant gold, thin white head. Aroma is honey, pale malt, overtones of grapefruit. Taste is all malt, with a caramel-sweet finish. Very little bitterness, but a pleasing prickle on the tongue. A pleasant
