2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
A yellow beer with a nice white head. The aroma is sweet malty and hoppy, while the flavor is sweet with a dry hoppy end, but a thin body.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle 33 cl) Very beautiful clear amber colour with a fine, creamy head leaving a nice lacework in my glass. Lightly fruity nose. Incredibly soft body with notes of caramel. The main feature in this beer though are the fantastic fruity esters from the ale yeast. Light bitter finish. Incredibly delicate brew and much more interesting than a normal Kölsch. 040905

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(bottle) Clear copper colour with a medium frothy, slightly off-white head. Hoppy aroma with a blend of malts and caramel. Dry and malty start with a nice fruitiness and a short but tasty soft bitter finish. Looks and tastes like an Altbier-Kölsch hybrid, but it is anyway very interesting. This brew was established at first in 1996 when Cologne celebrated the 600-years-proclamation of the pre-democratic medieval city constitution ("Verbundbrief" of September 14th 1396). This constitution was a manifesto of political balance between the craftsmen guilds, on the one hand, and the tradesmen on the other, organised in “Gaffeln”, and it remained in force until the political reorganisation during the French occupation in 1798. Thanks pivnizub for the sample.

Bottle. I just bought a couple of new glasses, and this one looks amazing in it! It’s dark golden with a medium head, which quickly settles to almost nothing. Aroma is qite powerfull with both malts and hops. Flavor is quite dry, with a fruity palate. A bit thin mouthfeel, but all in all pleasant.
