330 ml bottle. Slightly spicy Kölsch aroma. Spicy bitter taste, a bit of a bitter palate. For a kölsch it’s alright.

ryanscourt (270) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 14, 2013
Sweet, earthy, nice flavor. Extremely light. Goes down like water. Very nice light beer but very thin. Good beer for lots of quantity, as I see an older gentleman fall to the ground half way through happy hour.

Peter_L (146) - SWEDEN - MAY 11, 2013
Flaska från Systembolaget. Ljus klar vätska med högt skum. Svag doft av bröd med en antydan av honung. Balanserad beska. God törstsläckare.

Theydon_Bois (2957) - The ’Sham, Surrey, ENGLAND - MAY 6, 2013
Tap at Fruh Am Dom, Koln, 26/04/13. Clear pale golden with a good sized white head formed of bubbles. Nose is pale malts, citrus, grass, touch of lemon. Taste comprises pale malts, touch of butterscotch, grass, citrus. Medium bodied with light spritzy carbonation, crisp and dry in the finish. Overall a decent enough Kolsch.

jamesie1857 (800) - Sheffield, South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - MAY 5, 2013
Bottle from Rate Beer - Yellow body, no head. Just disappointing and not worth really trying to describe. Has a decent finish, but that’s it.

Draft. Golden beer with an off-white head. German/noble spicy hop aroma. Fruity flavor with light citrus and light malt. Medium-light bodied. Malt andlight straw lingers with light fruitiness.

dnicolaescu (99) - Chișinău, MOLDOVA - APR 28, 2013
Head: white, medium, frothy. Colour: yellow-gold, clear. Aroma: grassy, very faint sweetish fruity and lollipoppy. Taste: clean and crisp, but not watery and no malt sweetness and grainy, dry but not sour, lightly bitter. Very quenching. It’s good to drink the right beer at the right time - yelds a higher rating. :)

Armadill0 (38) - FINLAND - APR 26, 2013
Bottle. Really pale yellowish color. Lots of foam which dissipates quickly. Really faint aroma with mainly hops. Taste is almost nonexistant. What little there is consists of a fresh light hoppy sting with a rolling lightly alcoholic aftertaste. Easy to drink but not in a bad way. Has the edge over your run of the mill lager, but obviously nothing remarkable. Could probably drink several with no complaints.

Itzjerm (578) - Taft, Tennessee, USA - APR 25, 2013
Not the best kolsch bottle in cologne. Thin on tongue large carbonated bubbles. No lasting head slight fruity flavor. More flavor than many kolsch ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

kapusil (240) - HUNGARY - APR 23, 2013
0.33l bottle. Very pale yellow/golden body with a white head. Bready malty aroma with some earthyness and floral hoppyness. Taste of mostly bready malt, but there is a slight grassy hop bitterness and some buttery yeast character which actually makes the beer better. Light bodied, very easy to drink. Decent beer, my first Kölsch rating by the way.

Overall, solid German pilsner. Nice spice from the noble hops, but overall, not much else to say
