3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Nihon (247) - Vernon, Connecticut, USA - JUL 15, 2008
Amber color, almost no head, little carbonation. Semi-sweet lightly hopped somewhat metallic aroma. Hints of fruit and metal, light hops. Light-medium bitterness.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 crazyvin (1536) - New York, USA - JUL 14, 2008
Pretty damned good for a style i dislike. Anice dark golden color with a medium size white head. Aroma was on the hoppy side but did have some nice sweet notes and a little fruitiness. Flavor had a good hop profile and some nice malts to balance it out. Flavor was very similar to the aroma. A solid beer for the summer.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 Imaena (259) - Portland, Maine, USA - JUL 3, 2008
Bottle and Draught 08’.
Citrus nose with golden color. Some butter and strange malt flavour going on. I have noticed differences in the batches. I have some great 12’s of this and some skunks. Buyer beware.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 Wulfstan (509) - California, USA - JUN 27, 2008
This is a very nice, tasty, well-rounded, yet very drinkable beer that goes well with food. A lightish amber, it has a medium, off-white head that steadily diminished to a thin, wispy, alsting top. The aroma is lemon, grain, grapes, raisines, a hint of zesty wine alcohol, bread. The taste has great balance of sweet and bitter, with both being consistent and persistent throughout the drink yet restrained. It is slightly flowery lemon and bread with raisins, grapes, a hint of buttery caramel, a light wine quality, light alcoholic spiciness. It is tasty, zesty, light but interesting, consistent, highly drinkable, and goes really well with food.
2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20 Oakes (10009) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 27, 2008
Orangey-amber colour. Decent nose has caramel, diacetyl. Lightly fruity palate, a little overwhelming on the diacetyl. Not so summery in that respect. And I’ve never had a butterbomb kolsch before.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 jason (1670) - Easton, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 25, 2008
Draft. Deep golden copper body with thin head. Aroma is fruity and floral. Flavor is light fruit, bready, light spices. Quite refreshing and a very fresh clean taste to it. I’m not sure if the bottles would live up to the fresh beer I had on draft.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Beershine (4561) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - JUN 25, 2008
Draught, $3 Deweys. Clear, bright golden yellow. No lace. Some rubbing alcohol in nose. Sweet, phenolic. Band aids. Messy and disappointing.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Bungalo22 (326) - Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA - JUN 22, 2008
A really good drinker here. Though the label looks so different that what is shown to the left. It seemed balanced, flavorable and refreshing. A good summer (kolsch) beer but not the best.
