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. pale ale with some fruity notes and a hopped up taste. At first I was somewhat impressed but as it warmed up I was turned off. Some yeast flavor mixed with lager flavor.

355ml bottle from Utobeer. Pale clear gold, lasting white head. Slight herby lemon aroma. Very much a light lemon curdy aroma. Smooth in mouth. Light and drinkable. Just as a Kolsch should be.. Lemon hop on end is very pleasant. I like it.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is of slight citrus, yeast, floral hops, light toastiness, and sweet malts. Flavor is of citrus, lemon, and yeast up front that give way to a slight toastiness and grains on the finish. A little watery. Overall this really isn’t that great.

7/2/07 12 oz thanks to my future? aunts who through us a wedding shower. Not my favorite goose island, but an excellent attempt to get something I might like none the less. Pours a cloudy orange yellow thin head. Nose is lightly malty, floral, and citrussy. Flavors are similar, a little more citrus coming through. I liked this more than I remembered from last year. 6/3/6/3/11 = 2.9

12oz bottle thanks to AJ for bringing this. The same malty citrus and creamy notes of before but they come together nicer. Creamy smooth body. Easy to drink and enjoyable to throw back in the warm weather. 6/3/6/3/13 = 3.1

6/20/2007: Goose Island Summertime has a hazy (more like cloudy,actually) yellow color. The aroma is bready with some palt malts and cereal. The flavor is light with some toasty/bready malt and citrus hops. There is a hint of bitterness in the finish. The body is medium-light and feels thin on the palate. Good, but not as good as I had expected. Goose Island used to be one of my favorite regional micros, but I really think that their beers have slipped over there years and aren’t nearly as good as they once were. It’s sad, but true an disappointing.

12 oz bottles shared by BeerBob at the Junedale Beer Klub June "Ales of Summer" beer tasting. Thanks BB!

Pale golden color without a head. Very light grass/corn aroma with a touch of malt. The flavor is light yet satisfying, with sweet malty corn, grass, and a touch of hops. A bit more hops would have been nice. Very refreshing and tasted much as expected...

Another good summer beer. Good flavor and goes down smooth. Not the typical hoppy flavor I’m used to with Goose, but still good.
