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.

Bottle. Clear gold colour with a moderate white head. Aroma of apricots, grass and a bit of pepper. The flavour was slightly sweet to start with, followed by a decent hop finish. Ok.

got in a goose island variety pack. pours a clear gold, light head. unique aroma, not strong, but subtle sour dough. taste was also fairly unique with a blend of lemon and honey. very interesting, worth having a little warmer so the subtle notes come out.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a shaker. This beer poured a hazy, golden color with no head. The aroma was made up of lemon, orange, grass, and also some light spiciness. The flavor consisted of grass/hay, light lemony citrus notes, sweet malts, and also some noble hops. The mouthfeel was light-bodied with a good amount of carbonation. Overall, this was a decent beer. Good for easy drinking on a hot day.

Bottle. Light gold, with a quickly fading white head. Sour malt aroma, without much of a hop note. Stale malt aroma, almost a raw grain flavor as well. Heavier that I expected for a beer labeled summertime.

Bottle- tiny head, somewhat hazy, a caramel-honey aroma. An exeptionally sweet initial flavour with a sticky honey finish. Very enjoyable, I would love to try it on tap.
