molly75 (270) - (Madrid - España), - MAY 5, 2012
[ASPETTO] giallo oro, limpida [SCHIUMA] bianca, media presenza, media finezza, poco durevole [OLFATTO] profumo floreale soave, che ricorda il fieno, crosta di pane [GUSTO] inizio con un leggero dolce che ricompare quasi rafforzato nel finale; si aggiunge un fruttato leggero e quasi acidulo per finire, a parte un richiamo dolce, con una amaro secco, minerale e un tocco metallico. [TEXTURE] corpo leggero, sensazione watery anche se mantiene una certa morbidezza al palato, carbonazione medio bassa, alcohol non evidente [COMMENTO FINALE] stile che conosco poco, salvo qualche altro esempio della grande distribuzione. Birra leggera fresca e facilmente bevibile.. A secchiate per gli assetati. Ricorda una pale lager con una aromaticità più fine e complessa. Difficile inquadrarla e dar un voto consono allo stile. nel complesso, una birra semplice, ben fatta ma un po’ avara di emozioni.

ryanscourt (278) - 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 (149) - 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 (818) - 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.

bb (5888) - Alamo, California, USA - MAY 2, 2013
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 (111) - 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 (41) - 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.

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 (244) - 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.
