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.

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.

12 oz bottle: Pours like a pale yellow wit with a soft white head that fades. The nose is beery with soft peach and apple esthers. Spritzy carbonation is appropriate for the nice, drying body. Subtle notes of caramel and honey blend with a moderate dose of grassy German hops. Finishes dry and champagne like, with a soft punch of pear. Very refreshing on this hot, hot day.

Bottle. Aroma almost champagne-like with light fruits abound, a sweetish (for lemon), gourmet candy-like lemon, pale/wheaty malts, just enough hops to sense them, and surprisingly a pleasant, carressing touch of alcohol. Flavor continues along the same lines, bittering hops come out more in a supporting role, but a very strong supporting role. Again, nice light fruit presence. Obviously very drinkable, and so very, very tasty. 3.13...bah!
