Commercial Description:
A light, easy drinking German Blonde Ale, straw yellow in color. Similar in style to a Kolsh, the reformulated version of this popular favorite has more malt flavor and less hop bite. Imported German malt as well as a special Alt yeaststrain from Dusseldorf contribute to its incredible smoothness!

Draft: Poured a thin white head with a yellow color. Aroma was that of malt, but mostly smelled like a beer. The flavor was good, light and well balanced. Overall, it was good to try once, but they make so many other better beers.

Draft at brewpub. Pours golden with a white head. No discernible aromas. Light bodied but clean and smooth on the palate, stopping short of being watery. Flavor of cereal grains with the right amount of sweetness. I would prefer just a pinch of more hops, but overall I found this to be a very enjoyable lighter beer.

Thin head of fine bubbles. Very good carbonation. Light citrus and malt aroma with some sweetness to the nose. Medium gold in color. Thin palate. Crisp and fruity lemon with some bready malts. Little bit grassy with a slight tartness late swallow. Some bitterness and hops presence at the end but finishes clean and refreshing. A pretty good kolsch style.

Pours a hazy gold. Bread nose followed by a light metallic bitter flavor. This is cut my a sweet malt. Goes down smooth. A pretty standard "beer".
