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.

You’d be hard pressed to find a better BBQ beer than this gem, straight from the heart of Chicago. The Goose explores the often neglected Kolsch style and hits the target dead on. Light, malty, with a nice tartness in the finish, clean clear golden appearancem and light to medium carbonation. Hop character is grassy and subdued with a slightly zesty lemon finish.

From a bottle at Old Chicago. Summer beer tour. Nice, crisp and refreshing with some lemon taste, enjoyable but not remarkable.

Well made kolsch, with a crisp tight taste and nice smooth palate. This won’t make you remember it much beyond the smile of the first taste of a cold beer. Well, first since the last one, of course.

Extremely refreshing. Nice and light with very pleasant carbonation. Sweet malt very nicely balanced with the hops. I actually went through this one so fast that it’s tough to remember much of anything specific. Would definitely be willing to give a proper tasting to later on when I’m not so thirsty.

Pours a hazy straw, minimal white head. Caramelly, slightly smoky aroma, a bit of green apple. Flavor starts dry and astringent and very sour. Finishes sort of malty and lagery. Medium-thin body and with good complementing fizzyness.

This beer is very light and drinkable. The taste leaves a little to be desired, but I suppose Kolsch is a pretty mild style. I would buy again, especially on a hot day.

Tap at Old Chicago, Old Town, Wichita. WTF is this? It smells and tastes like modeling clay (for the latter, add a bit of sugar substitute in there as well). It looks okay-- average yellow-- but smells and tastes like friggin’ modeling clay!
