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.

ON tap at Clybourn; flavor was of grain and funk. Not very good; flavor was much of the same. Pretty disappointing. Only good thing was decent hop finish.

12oz bottle wifr bought in Wi. A toated grain aroma with some citrus. Gold body with white head. The zesty lemon flavor made this beer for me. Otherwise could a been just another ordinary beer like the big 3 make.

Pours a sparkling gold with a white, frothy and lasting head that leaves decent lacing upon the glass. The nose is grainy, sour citrus, with a lightly yeasty backing. Light to medium-bodied and slick, it finishes slightly astringent. Sweet, lightly bready malt and mildly sour citrus. Crisp and refreshing. A nice summer beer and the best Kölsch that I’ve tried this summer.

Hint of lemon aroma. Rather sweet clean grain flavor. Not terribly complicated but quite refreshing and very easy drinking.

Gold colour. Sweet grainy aroma. Taste is slightly citric with a sweet malt background. Does what it says on the bottle.

Bottle at The Rake at London Bridge (London), poured a bright gold. A clean palate, very dry. A spritzy citrus flavour with grapefruit notes.

From the bottle. This beer pours a goldish straw yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is mild with hints of lemon grass and mild hops. the flavor is a bit tart and fruity with the lemon coming thru strong. Overall a very good kolsch good for hot summer days.
