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. Pretty good pour, medium bubbly white head, good staying power for it being so bubbly, nice lacing, golden straw yellow, ton of carbonation. Light aroma, mostly light yeast and lemon, dinner rolls. Not as fizzy tasting as it looks (a good thing), light bodied, but fairly hoppy, some citrus, grassy, slightly evident pale malt, crisp dry finish. Alright, did the trick on the 4th of july though.

Not awesome, but much better than expected. Very true, it would taste great on a hot summer day, but that’s why air conditioning was invented and I can drink whatever I want despite the season.

Bottle. This is a very refreshing Kolsch-style brew. Perfect balance of malt with a dash of hops. Almost reminiscent of a wheat beer, except with more flavor. Would definitely recommend on a hot summer day.

Bottle. Goodbar Beer Club. Yellowy gold, white head. Nose is dougy malts, light lemon. Simple but nice. Flavor is lemon, doughy malt, undefined fruits. A hint of richer malt in the finish. Very good.

After a hot day mowing this is a great beer. Very light with a small head. Wheat aroma and taste with a slight bitter hop finish.
