2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
This was the second of the summer reviews. Nothing too special, but better than most light ales. Pours a cloudy white color, settles a medium, clear yellow. Small, fizzy off-white head, virtually no lacing behind a fully diminishing head. Aroma is of light cookie malts and light yeast. Initial taste is lightly acidic, finishing a light bitter with average duration. Light to medium on the mouth, it leaves us oily with flat carbonation.

Not familiar with Kolsch style. Hoppy, wheaty tasting, tastes like a British take on a German style. Hop and body were present but possibly underdone.
Brought down from Maine after a wedding. Tasty excursion from dark beer and malty favorites on a winter evening.

Straw-colored body, thin off-white head. Aroma of corn, sugar, and light cookie with grassy hops. Sweet, biscuity body, hints of clover honey, marred by a strange vegetal taste towards the finish with a touch of cardboard. Minus this flaw, rather tasty.

Bottle... Clear amber ale with a large, fluffy, off-white head. Decent retention. Biscuity malt, maple syrup, beef stock and cereal grains in the aroma. Medicinal, medium sweet, lightly bitter flavor. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with moderate carbonation. Lightly sweet, sugar cookie finish.

A summer ale at 6%? Did know that before drinking when the alcohol showed up relative to what I was anticipating. Anyway, the aroma was lemony more than anything else. Flavor was again lemony, alcohol notes, and a touch of caramel and herbs. A koelsch? You’ve gotta be kidding me, not even close imo. My least favorite of the 3 Gearys I did tonite.

pours a light orange, medium off white head and medium carbonation. Aroma is of light fruit and some grainy sweetness. Taste is sweet with some fruity notes. clean finish. not bad.

I am not that enamored with this beer. Very heavy alcohol taste and a long sour finish. Kind of sweet and malty - some lemon tones. Not the kind of beer I can swig during this heat wave.
