COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Kolsch, the clean and refreshing beer style of Cologne, Germany, quenches summertime thirst. This pale golden ale with a lightly fruity aroma is cold-conditioned or lagered after its primary fermentation. More simply, our Summertime uses only the finest malts and German hops to create the perfect beer for hot Summer days and warm Summer nights.

J_man (535) - Tustin, California, USA - MAY 16, 2013
Definitely smells like a Kolsch with clean, crisp biscuit malt and a bit of minerality. White soapy head and crystal clear pale yellow. There’s really not much going on here with the taste, it’s very, very light toasted malt and hay with some good balancing earthy, almost mushroomy, bitterness. Slides right by and finishes clean with a little residual vegetal aftertaste. Clean, refreshing and bright like summer.

Beerman6686 (3120) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 15, 2013
This poured a darker yellow color with a white head. Aroma was of light earthy and grassy hops, some hay and grain in there. Flavor was slightly more hoppy pale lager, with a refreshing palate finish.

Summertime and the living is easy. Clear gold. Whiffs of grain and lemon peel. Lightly sweet and sour. Refreshing

sonnycheeba (1901) - Federal Hill, Baltimore, Maryland, USA - MAY 8, 2013
Keg pour during Annapolis 5K beer run. Pours pale yellow/gold with thin, fizzy white head. Faint aroma with notes of cereal and biscuit malts, grassy hops, wheat, and light fruit. Flavor is refreshing with predominately cracker and biscuit malts and faint supporting hops and light fruit esters; dry finish. Light body and medium carbonation.

garrison (717) - Cin. city, Ohio, USA - MAY 7, 2013
This is a passable true Kolsch clone, straw hued with a fresh, yeasty body. A fine everyday beer.

Nothing summer about this beer... A little watered down, good color and flavor, but a watered down lawnmower beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
