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.

12oz bottle. FIltered yellow-orange color with a respectable soapy head. Sweet malt and noble hop aroma. Pretty underrated, simply because of the style I’d assume. Maybe a touch more hop bite than most German examples. Classic, easy drinking beer. Light creamy yeast balances it out perfectly. Good stuff.

Golden beer with a decent sized white head. Smell of citrus and yeast. Flavor is malt with some citrus. Decent lacing around the glass. Not bad on a hot day but there are others I would rather have

Bottle @ Vinens Verden, Odense. Pours hazy yellow with a small creamy white head and lacings. Nose is fruity, grassy and floral hops. Very fresh. Taste is dry and crisp. Medium and smooth palate. Easy, tasty and quaffable.

Tap at the brewpub (Clybourn location): Golden pour with a consistent white film of head. Fruit snack esters in the aroma with a touch of mild pale grains. Fluffy feel with a simple flavor. Some nondescript grains and fruity esters precede a very mildly hopped (hardly notable) finish. Simple & boring, but with no major flaws.

A pretty decent clean Kolsch that goes down nice and easy during the summer...time.

(Bottled) Very hazy yellow with a small, firm head. Lemony, quite fresh and fruity aroma with some grassy hops and hints of acidity. Flavor of pale malt, lime-lemony fruitiness, no bitterness or acidity, but a touch of cardboard. Light to medium body, somewhat refreshing with slightly fizzy carbonation. A reasonable summer beer, but the lack of flavor and only medium freshness makes it less tempting.
