2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
From a bottle poured a clear golden color with a fair amount of head. Nice refreshing flavor with a quick finish.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Perfect summertime brew. Light crisp clean. Smells citrusy and grassy. Had it on tap at Teresa’s in Wayne PA. If you like Kolsch beer, this one is not to be missed.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap at the Rotten Apple. Perhaps it is because I had a glass of this only 10 minutes after drinking a pint of Lagunitas Brown Sugga but I could find almost no flavor to this beer. Even my wife, who has trouble with Bud Light (!) agreed. So my description will go as: clear golden body with no head. Quite thin. Almost no flavor or aroma.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: AUG 10, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a light pale golden color with a medium head. Average head retention and lacing. Aroma is grass, corn and faint sawdust. Taste is grassy hops with sweet malts and creamed corn. Medium bodied. Refreshing.
My previous rating was from an old bottle from a decrepit "tavern" in Charlottesville. That score was 5/4/5/3/9/2.6. Those numbers do not factor into the updated score.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Appearance:Pale yellow/golden. Short fizz, then absolutely no head.
Aroma: Bit of hops and fruit. Not much.
Taste: Mix of malt, fruit and hops. Nice, bitter-ish aftertaste. Bit boring, though.
Info: 500ml bottle, 14/11-2006, 109/500
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap @ Allen Street Hardware Buffalo. Pours a light golden yellow. Very crisp, clean easy drinking with nice hop bitterness. Nice session beer
2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
1/2 litre bottle from The Vineyard (Belfast, Ireland) , poured in a Leffe 1/2 pint goblet. Light golden colour, small amount of coarse head, induced with a dribble pour. Aroma is very noticeable, uric and not pleasent to my nose. Light and quenching with a little bitterness towards the end. Slightly metallic, iron-rich in the mouth. Having just enjoyed a St Bernardus Prior 8, this paled in comparison.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
16.9 oz bottle from Sam’s Wine (South Loop, Chicago, IL). Poured a fairly transparent golden hue with a substantial bright white head that dissipates at a moderate rate. Aromas are slightly skunky grain and a light floral sweetness. Taste is similar with an inviting initial taste and a bit of a bitter bite middle that smooths out in the finish. I realize the Kolsch does not travel well, but this was still enjoyable, flavorful, and refreshing. I tasted no adjuncty corn as some raters have indicated.
