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.

A typical summer beer: light in both body and aroma, as well as light and refreshing in mouthfeel, and there’s not a whole lot too them. Very crisph, refreshing. Ever-so-slightly hoppy, with a handful of lemons/citrus flavors and a decent balanced of hops and malts. Slightly fruity, but not sweet at all.

Bottle: Clear light gold in color, small white head. Aroma was a little lemon, some yeast, and a touch grassy. Flavor, a light fruitiness, some pale malts, and a little floral bitterness on the finish. not bad.

12 oz bottle. Slightly hazy, very pale golden beer, thin white head and nice carbonation. Pale malt, bread yeast and a very subtle honey aroma. Crisp and clean. A hint of crisp sulphury character through the middle and a minerally flavour toward the finish. Really subtle, crisp and clean flavour. Light apple esters as it starts to warm. Nice refreshing brew.

From a twist cap long neck brown bottle with a best before date on the back label, 06/20/06. Made a good appearance, poured a slightly hazy pale golden with a nice foamy white head that settled into a thin foamy lacing, fair amount of sticking, good carbonation. Had a tasty nose of dry cereal and crackers, grassy and herbal with a subtle fruitiness at the edges. A crisp, dry and smooth light bodied mouth feel, good summer drinkability. Refreshing tasting, a dry cereal and grainy maltiness, herbal with a light lemon fruitiness in the middle and a dry grainy finish with a nice grassiness lingering in the palate. Maybe because I worked up a good sweat before I tried this beer from Goose Island, but I thought it quite enjoyable and a good summer brew, especially on a hot summer day.

Clear gold with a good head. Slightly yeasty aroma with a sprinkling of noble hops. The flavor is mostly dry malt. This has a light and lively body. Good lawnmower beer, but not something to go for if you’re looking for flavor.

Maybe im just not familiar with the style, but I thought this was pretty "bland". The aroma is skunky, but not a huge wafing skunk, like Tsing Tao. Flavor is spicey/peppery hops, with carbonation, and a zest finish. I love summer beers for their low alcohol volumes. A good reason to make a session out of them on the boat dock. This one just didnt appeal to me.

Pours golden with good sized white fizzy head. Aroma is clean malt with spicy hops - it is very soft. Taste has grainy malt with hints of lemon that is quite gentle. The finish has tart lemon with spicy hops. Nice refreshing summer beer.

Nice easy drinking beer. Like its name suggest, it is a good beer to have while hanging around outside in the heat.
