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.

Crisp and clean.... clear orange poor not much head and no lacing... refreshing but not my favorite.

Suprisingly wheaty for a Kolsch, or maybe it was just me. Pours a slightly cloudy golden borderline orangeish colour with a full rising white head. Lemon, grass and yeast on the nose. Taste is smooth, fruity with a semi tart finish.

your average session beer. Average summer style kolsch. I could drink 10 of these on a warm day. Heavy carbonation, roasted malt, citrus.

12 oz. bottle from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). Pours a hazy yet bright yellow with a lot of visible carbonation and fairly decent white head. Aromas of light hops, grass, and a touch of sweetness. Initial taste is a smooth lighter maltiness with a bit of spicy sweet hop notes. Dry finish after the sweet and hops are gone through, this was a surprising rate indeed. The fresher the better, as I’ve had this brew when it wasn’t this good. Still, a wonderful summer session beer. Yum.

Stinks like hell. Nice bright yellow hue and a quickly falling head. I didn’t know you were supposed to drink it from a stange or stUrzen. Learn sumpen new every day.

Draft @ Clyborne. Light in color with a small head. Crisp, clean with a mellow maltiness and just the right twinge of lemon.

Bottle, bought @ The Rake, London.
Pours lightly hazy yellow-golden with a small creamy white head. Aroma is softly hoppy, light citrc. High carbonation. Subdued crispy malts in the flavour, biscuits, subdued hops. Wonderful balance and even better freshness.

In bottle at Jerry’s. Straw-gold with big, foamy, white head / Light lemon and wheat nose / Light bodied, crisp, with fine carbonation and tart, dry finish / Flavors of lemon and wheat / A textbook example of the style?
