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.

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?

12 oz bottle pours golden with a medium off white head. Aroma of grassy hops and soapy lemon. Flavor is lemony with a strange aftertaste.

poured gold with a thin white head. Not much going on in the aroma or flavor. Grain, corn, citrus...that’s about it. Not good

12oz bottle. Now I know I’m not the only one that though it had a soapy aftertaste. A little too lemony, and also weak on carbonation. I just didn’t like this one.
