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.

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.

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.
