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.

Yellow pour with a foamy, white head that fades to a nice lacing. The aroma is light grains, pear, grape and yeast. Crisp but fruity flavor with notes of bread, lemon, pear, white grape, and apple with a slight yeastiness to the finish. Medium thin body with lots of carbonation.

Citrusy taste. Golden in color and has a white head. Good beer for a summer day with friends. Not a MUST buy.

Bottled, alc. 4.7% (Beer Hunters’, BB 04/2010). Pale, slightly hazy yellow color, small white head. Aroma is soapy lemony with kind of unfermented sugar, wort note (although it is the most likely from yeast). Light palate, crisp mouthfeel, also a bit oily. Pale malty with light lemony hops. Refreshing, but just too boring and watery for being a good Kölsch. This is a bit like pale lagers of mainstream brewpubs. Could have more hops at least.

Bottled at Mallaskukko, Turku. Pale golden, thin disappearing white head. Mineral, slightly citric aroma with little soapiness and yeast. Flavor is minerals, clean malts, little citric fruits and kiwi, quite strong yeastiness, very mild hops and bubblegum in the finish. Not really crisp enough, a tad disturbing mineral notes in there too. Light bodied, strong foaming carbonation. Totally forgettable summerbrew.

Golden color with a foamy but quickly dissipating head. Grainy aroma with a hint of citrus. Body is slightly dry and the flavor has hints of wheat, hops and grains. A pretty crisp and refreshing summer brew.
