COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Gaffel Koelsch Light has the typical delicately bitter, full Gaffel flavour, because like Gaffel Koelsch it is brewed according to the German Purity Law. A gentle procedure is used to reduce the alcohol content by 50 % and the number of calories by more than 40 %.

Koelschtrinker (6545) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - JUN 17, 2011
Riecht wie ein alkoholfreies. Von Gaffel bin ich eh nichts gutes gewähnt, daher kommt für mich dieses Ergebnis nicht überraschend: Dieses Bier ist ekelhaft. Gefällt dieses Bier noch im Antrunk, da es eine leckere herbe enthält, wird es im Mittelteil wässrig. Der Nachgeschmack jedoch ist nicht mehr spaßig: Einer der widerlichsten, den ich je erschmeckt habe! Abartig säuerlich mit einer metallernen herbe. BAH was ist das denn für ein Zeug, das kann man ja net trinken! Grauenhaft! Test vom 6.4.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 5,5,4,1,9,2 - 3,25

Bottle. Sour barley malt aroma. Golden yellow color with large head. Slightly sweet barley malt flavor with a mild bitter finish. Light body. Not too bad for a low alcohol beer.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - AUG 3, 2009
Bottled. Clear yellow, rich airy head. Fruity salty nose with some vegetables. Sweetish with very light body. There’s salty hops, some vegetables and mid strength resiny bitterness. Not too shabby for a commercial 2.4% beer.

SHIG (2530) - Osan, SOUTH KOREA - DEC 14, 2006
Bottle: Poured a golden amber with a white creamy head. Sweet hoppy grain aroma was present. Sour dry watery malt flavor. Its a suprise to see all these newer German light beer, since I am use to gaining weight will stationed in Europe.
