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.

12 oz bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. Hazy yellow color. Sweetish, malty and honeyish aroma with some fruitiness and apricot. Tastes the same with low bitterness. Pleasant and easy drinking.

Bottle. Quite boring a void of any interesting flavours or characters. Some tinned fruit notes, with a vacuous finish.

Draft at Goose Island Clybourne. 5 oz. Taster glass. Pours clear yellow, no head. Crisp citrus hop aroma and flavor. Lemon in the nose and mouth. Very zesty and smooth. Great stuff!

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a super thin white head and a small amount of bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of slightly funky malt, cardboard, fresh german hops and a twang of lemon. Light-bodied; Tart astringent tastes up front with a slight hop flavour and a good fresh taste. Aftertaste finishes nicely for a seasonal in summer - no bitterness, just a light hoppy note and a slight citrus feel. Overall, a good summer kolsch - light and refreshing with no off-flavours. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Dominick’s in Schaumburg, Illinois on 06-August-2005.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours golden with a small, foamy white head. Aroma is of honey, malt, spice, and wheat. Taste is very sharp, crisp malt with wheat, spice, citrus, and hops. Very mild beer, that is refreshing. Very drinkable. I could definitely get tanked on this one.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clearish yellow, with good white foam. Very classic german pils nose, bright, grassy, and puckery. Great cracker character. Bright, fresh drinkable, lightly ale yeast touched, lightly lemong sweet deliciousness. Nice tangy, bright pils malt finish. Awesome. Balanced, airy, drinkable and flavorful.

Pours to a light golden color with thin white head that dissipates quickly and leaves little lacing. Aroma of honey, wheat and lemon, with a tingly, biting mouthfeel. Flavor is more of the honey, wheat and lemon found in the nose, with a hoopy bitter-dry finish. Had this in the dead of winter, but can see how it would be a summertime favorite.
