3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draft. Light gold color, light musty aroma. Finish is off a bit, not a great pilsner.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at Frankin’s.
Pours a light yellow with a good white head and a bit of lacing. The nose brings forward quite a bit of grain and malt. A bit too malty for the style. Faint hops. Flavor is along the same lines as the nose. There’s simply too much malt character for a delicate style like kolsch. Light-medium body with a slight chewiness. Decent enough, but needs to be thinned out with less overt malt character.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Draft. Clear yellow. Aroma of white pepper. Taste is bitter, plain and lager-like. Mediocre.

On tap at Franklins, Hyattsville on 14 July 2006. Fairly standard brewpub “light” beer. Slightly hazy blonde colour. Fairly clean and fresh although there’s just a hint of boiled vegetable. OK
