Fairly good. A little malty and sweet but finishing kind of bitter. Personally, this wouldn’t be my summer beer as comes across kind of rich, but it’s pretty tasty for anytime, really.
2.3 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz. bottle. Pours a mostly clear gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through the first two sips and left light lace. The aroma is just awful on this beer; a combination of modeling glue and sweet caramel. It smells just horrible. Its difficult to discern the flavor because the aroma just gets in the way. I am picking up some caramel and malt followed by some mild-moderate bitterness. Whatever is making this awful aroma is apparently not affecting the flavor. Nonetheless, this is completely undrinkable and will be poured down the drain.

one of my favorite brewers, but this wasnt a hit, this was a little bit of a miss for me. the kolsch style is not my favorite anyway, but when its advertized or marketed as a "summer ale" is when i get confused, I dont know how anyone would like this in the summer, it would leave my mouth dry like sand, and the malt flavor gets on my nerves after awhile, oh well, ill stick to the pacifico.

Reviewed from notes.
Pours.a moderate golden yellow color with a short white head. Nose brings some light malt, honey, and faint fruit. Taste is slightly-sweetened dough and a bit of grain. Light, crisp feel with great carbonation levels to match the flavor. A good summer brew and quite nice drinkability.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle. Aroma of the light malts and light hops. Pretty standard blond ale. Nothing special, but I could see this being good on a hot, summer day.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Clear copper pour with small ring of white head. Nose is sweet and rich corn. Not like a light lager or adjuncts. Flavor is lightly bitter, like a weak noble hop tea. A little chewy and somewhat spicy floral finish. Not really refreshing, but not a horrible brew.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Very sweet aroma, almost like butterscotch, also very roasty. Copper-colored, decent froth, not spectacular. This beer is heavy on sweetness and not much else, nothing to really add balance. My palate doesn’t detect any hops just malts. Very thin.
