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.

On tap at Romans on GI Night. Aroma was a slight apple tinged German malt,all very soft as it should be,this style not known for a big fragrance, Taste mostly grainey with just a hint of tartness, and some noticeable bittering,little bite from the carbonation, pleasant as can be, probaly tastes better when its more like summer

Ours a shiny golden yellow with a thick creamy white head. Aroma is very nice fresh grain that doesn’t come across as stale or old. Nice bits of citric fruit and just a hint of spicy hops. Flavor starts with a burst of sweet citric fruit that is inviting and refreshing. Picks up some grain and bread notes before giving a spicy hop bite towards the finish that tickles the tongue through the swallow leaving a dry crisp finish. Medium body and active carbonation. Really resfresing for the kolsch style and perfect for the hot dog days of summer.

Great fluffy head. Nice lace finish. Sour, grainy nose. Powdery palate. It does have a crisp kolsh flavor but very citrusy. Leaves something to be disired.

Pours a clear light golden color with a nice fluffy white medium head. The aroma is very bright with some orange and some yeastiness. Flavors of citrus are certainly prevalent in this one with a big orange character and some nice dry graininess. This is remarkably fruity without being very sweet. Nothing to blow me over but I can imagine I’ll be drinking a few more of these this summer.

Very refreshing beer with a very prominent head. Strong citrus smell is followed by a subtle yet satisfying citrus flavor on the palate. Light orange coloration when it is poured. Really is, as the name suggests, a great summer beer.

Bottle. Sweet, fairly refreshing but with an odd soapy character. This was absolutely nothing special.
