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.

Draught at Old Chicago in Coralville, IA. Hazy golden color with foamy white head that laced the glass. Subdued sprucy hop and light citrusy aroma. Flavor was similar with an overall dearth of hop flavor. Dry, crisp and refreshing. Unfortunately it is better to gulp this one than sip it.

Pours an almost clear yellow with a lasting thick white head. Dusty lemon peel nose. A bit doughy watered down citrus flavor leaves a scum feeling on my tongue. A bit of lingering toast in the finish. This is really not working for me. The flavors taste muted somehow that I find hard to explain. Ap-3 ar-5 tas-4 pal-2 ov-7

Bottle (12oz). Hazy yellow with a smallish fizzy white head. Mild aroma, grain, honey, light yeast, hint of paper, glue and apple. Taste is pretty nice - light juicy malt, a hint of fruit-sweetness, and nicely balancing mild herbal hops. Mouthfeel is watery, a little flat, not very carbonated, and the papery character re-emerges as an odd aftertaste - not bad, but a little disappointing ...

Pours a very cloudy (that’s bad!) straw color with a loosely knit head. The aroma is slightly biscuity and way too fruity for the style. The body is med-light with really low CO2. Flavors are grassy and sweet malt. Not nearly attenuated enough. Want to try a great Kolsch in the area? Go over to Piece. That’s an amazing Kolsch.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold-yellow with a small white head. The aroma is minerally, bready, and has a slight fruity hop component. The flavour has some minerals and light fruit-loop hops. Brackish mouthfeel and generally mediocre and boring. Sampled at Cole’s in Buffalo on June 24, 2006.

Bottle. Light golden yellow, small white head. Pleasant mild grainy aroma. Flavour is quite light, mild grainy malt. Average palate. Pleasant summer quaff but not very exciting.
