Gaffel Kölsch

Brewed by Privatbrauerei Gaffel Becker & Co.
Style: Kölsch
Cologne, Germany

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

Refrigerated bottle served in a glass. Pours a pale golden with small white head. Taste is light floral ale spice to begin with then finishes dry and crisp like a pilsner. Kind of boring.

Spicy aroma whit herbs and rubberhoze. Nice looking.Tastes of dryed herbs, rubber and some mint Good but not among the best

Dry, cidery aroma with abundant biscuit and a hint of champagne. Pours a crystal clear gold with a compact white head, spots of lace. Medium body, crisp on the palate, the flavor imparts a fullness to the body beyond its rather thin viscosity. Abundant doughy flavor, noble hops impart a bit of bitterness and a bit more of a vegetal character, slightly cidery. Refreshing, drinkable.

Location: On Tap at Capital Ale House, 12/26/09

Overall Impression: A light, crisp, refreshing beer. Not overly exciting, nose is pretty dull, flavor is decent. Dry and fruity. Not bad, but not very memorable.

Bottle. Pours a very clear straw colour with a light white head. Aroma is mostly hoppy and not pronounced. It is easy to drink and has a hops and grain taste. It is bitter with an abrupt finish. Overall I quite like this beer but it is nothing particularly special.

Golden with a thin head, slight hop aroma, some malt and hop in the taste, an average beer.

Pours a clear golden with a nice head that gets mighty spotty after a while. The aroma has notes of hay and grassy hops. The flavor is grainy and husky with some malty dryness and some honey notes. The flavor has some mild saltiness and some noble hops, not too bad. Palate is very crisp, clean and just mildly sharp..

0.33 l. Modern, transparent bottle design. Clear, golden color, average carbonation and a medium head, which collapses soon. Hoppy, grassy and "metallic" smell. Lightly sour taste. Watery, bitter aroma. Light-bitter finish. Light and refreshing beer.
