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.

This Northern German style beer pours a hazy pale gold with a light white head, mostly dissapating. The aroma is citrus and spice. Very creamy and velvety smooth on the palate. Taste is light, with a whisper of grapefruit and lemon. Finishes with a bit of dry hoppiness. Very refreshing summer beer best enjoyed after a game of croquet, lawn bowling or badminton.

A slight fruity aroma, it pours a somewhat hazy light yellow, with a thin white head. A bit of sweetness starts out the flavor, which is quickly stopped by a touch of grassy hops. Nice and thirst quenching. Not spectacular, but very drinkable.

Not really going to complain on this one. It has its place, but its not something that should be sought out. Better than your average lager, its got some grassiness in there. I am seeing this around alot, which is a good sign of things to come i think.

Pours golden yellow with a frothy white head. Smells like grains and yeast, perhaps some mild fruits.Flavor is very refreshing. slightly sweet with fruitiness, and yeastiness also pops its glob on your tongue.

Cloudy champagne color with a white head. A very light hop aroma with touches of grass and citrus. Very light and refreshing taste, faint malt flavor, nice lemon citrus finish. Crisp, light and refreshing beer

Bottle. Pours a light yellow with a white head with a lot of carbonation. Aroma of light fruits, lemon, lager yeast. Flavor of light fruits, wheat, spices. Very light, fruity, and refreshing. Enjoyable beer.

Very light golden, little to no head. Light grass and a touch of citrus sourness. Dry at the front getting towards lemon, not all that sour though, just reminiscent of lemon. Spritzy and dry with a somewhat roasty hop presence. Might not be the freshest sample, but I think there should be more flavors noticeable than what were.

Bottle. Golden beer with a light head. The aroma is fruity, malty and lightly dry. The flavour is fruity, hopped and mildly dry. Overall a very nice beer.
