12oz capped bottle. Pours a clean and clear rich light gold with nice uniform head. Great smelling and balanced nose...touch of honey, pepper, bright Nobel hops and crisp pale malt. The flavor is pretty much what I was expecting from the nose. Very balnced with a touch of sweetness up front than crisp and refreshing Nobel hops. A very nice bottled kolsch.

2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at Big Hunt. Pours straw yellow with a fairly large white, frothy head that has okay retention and lacing. Low carbonation. Nose is sweet grain, sort of macro lagerish with corn, some light fruits actually. Taste is sweet and then some fairly powerful metallic almost rusty bittering hops join in to create something crisp, biting, but very simple and subdued. Would probably be very good super fresh and on cask.
