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.

On tap at the Crescent Moon. This was last Tuesday’s pint nite beer. A fairly decent, yet mild kolsch. Yellow with a moderate white head. Lacing hangs in there for most of the drink. Aroma of slight maltiness, slightly grainy. Possibly a little dash of lemon flavor. Lighter in body than many great kolsch, but does not have the nasty harsh cardboard flavor that lesser ones do.

bottle--nice light golden color with a medium head that lasted throughout. Aroma was minimal. Slight fruit flavor with a light finish. Tasty on a hot summer day.

Poured from a bottle, lasting head and good lacing. Appears hazy, golden. Not much aroma, but what there is on the hoppy side. Initially sour then slightly bitter, reminds me of grapefruit. Clean, dry, refreshing finish. I don’t taste the malt.

Not much to this beer, although I wasnt expecting much either. Works as a thirst quencher. Somewhat cloudy pale yellow, with great head and lots of fizz. No real aromas, maybe some weak malts and citrus. Flavor is weak and somewhat sour with some hops detectable. Get for a session if nothing else is available.

Bottle, best by 9/26/05. Slightly hazy golden body with an attractive fluffy white head. Buttery corn flake aroma. More buttery malt in the flavor but it’s accompanied by dry/crisp sprucy, grassy hops. Lemony finish. Light mouthfeel and low carbonation. No flavor component is really big but they work well together to produce a nice summer beer.

pours a light pale color w/ a decent white head and some light lacing. Smell is a light citrus hop and a weak malt a bit of rose possibly. Palate is very middle of the road I can feel it there but it doesn’t impress. Flavor is a nice mild crisp citrus hop and a light malt back w/ some very light fruits. Overall a pretty ok beer for drinking in the sun.

Bottle...Poured a hazy golden yellow with a fluffy sustaining white head. Notable lacing left. Aromas were mild, consisting of citrus, subtle melon, and hops. Flavor again was very mild, again consisting of citrus and hops with a slightly bitter finish. Overall I was not terribly impressed.
