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.

Bottled from utobeer. Aroma is cornish with grainy malt and grassy candy sugar hints. Taste is more balanced, grainy cornish, grassy bitter but alround a balanced session beer.

This is a nice summer beer, and actually has a little more complexity that typical kolsch styles. It is semi sweet, semi dry, and has a nice fruity ester flavor that melds well with the quick dry clean crisp finish. Balance is about as good as it gets for a kolsch

Draught at the brewpub, Wrigleyville location
Hazy light blond color, creamy head. The aroma has some cereals and malt. The mouthfeel is weak, with some residual sweetness, but not enough flavor or bitterness. Too simple.

Enticing snout of cork, wood, bananas and ice cream. A bit too fruity to be totally authentic. But the softly malty character is, minus the spritz. Torrential bead fizzing out quickly. Slight oak and citrus. Ends up tasting too much like a cheap tinned Pils.

Bottle. Pours a hazy pale yellow color with a longlasting white head. Malty bready aroma with some grassy hints. Sweet malty bready and fruity flavor with some grassy hints. Fruity malty finish with some hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste.

Bottle. Poured a very light golden color. Aroma is stinky feet. Taste is watery but could be a good beer for a real hot day.

Great beer for the summer. Nice clean finish. Golden in color. Drink it in the shade on a hot day.
