3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
(12oz bottle) Crystal clear amber body topped by medium off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, bread. Taste is medium sweet, bread, caramel, light pepper, lemon. Some earthy and light grassy in the finish. Light-medium body, light stickiness, easy drinking. Seems to have more the characteristics of an alt than a kolsch.

It poured a clear medium dark amber with an average head. Subtle grassy hop aroma with just a touch of citrus peel. Perfect ale flavor, very mild spice, nicely balanced with a slightly dry, bitter finish. A no miss choice for a summer ale
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark straw/light copper color with aroma of hopcit, spicy florals, and some esters. Tastes medium palated, with a smooth, refreshing hop/fruit/spice finish. A very good kolsch/summer beer, although if I’m not mistaken they drink kolsches all year round in Germany, whether it’s summer or not.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear orange with no head. Spicy and malty. Slight hop character. The flavor is a light citrusy hop with a spicy malt. Interesting.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
06.17.05 12oz bottle. Pale copper pour with thin white head that fades to a ring. No lace. Aroma is very much like caramel candy with underlying hints of hoppy spice. Flavor is mild, clean to finish. Lots of bready malt and only a touch of spice - grassy hops and the end. This really reminds me of the Alaskan Summer Ale but a milder version. If nothing else, it brings back good memories.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear golden/light copper with a medium white head. Aroma of light caramel, grassy hops. The flavor has much more life than the aroma; notes of lemon/citrus, caramel, floral/grassy hops and pepper. Pleasantly sweet and malty with a crisp, bitter hoppy finish. Full, round and creamy on the palate with lively carbonation. Not much lacing, ok head retention. Overall, a nice tasty beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bright deep gold. Nose hoppy, sweet malt, grassy. Unusually biscuity for a supposed kolsch, quite hoppy at the end. Quite bready. Expect crispness in a kolsch, this was a decent beer but didn’t strike me as particularly kolsch-y.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours amber with a small fizzy white head. Nose is grainy and grassy with light malt notes and dried fruit. Taste is spicy hops, light grassy notes, thin malt, dried fruit and some underbaked bread. Body is medium and contains moderate carbonation feel. Finish leaves spicy hops, lingering grassy notes, light fruit, and minimal maltiness. Not too bad.
