Jul 21, 2009 12 oz. bottle poured to my SA lager glass. A chilled hazy golden color with a modest white head that quickly diminished to a film and a foamy ring, but left some web-like, clingy lacing. The aroma was light Pils malt and a hint of apple core. The flavor added soft malt and low hop bitterness. The carbonation was fizzy and the finish offered some dryness. A crisp, sessionable brew.

Jul 21, 2009 Surprisingly good beer. Pale orange with a foamy white head. Hops, grain and fruit in the smell. Nice crisp flavor. I was pretty impressed with this one. A nice summer brew.

Jul 20, 2009 Draft from east village tavern. Kind of a boring kolsch, maybe it was the tap.

Jul 20, 2009 335ml bottle (K CM, Kamppi)
Pale orange, brief head. Pleasant light ale aroma, fruitier than I
expected from a kolsch, but definitely has that watered-down feel.
Sweet palate, soft carbonation. Weird taste, a bit like a watered-down
pale ale aromatics-wise, but with slightly lagery hints to the malty
body. Quite biting stinging hopping, again not really an authentic
kolsch. There’s some swimming-pool water there too. Some paperiness
in the finish, a touch of pepper too. A curious mix. What I reckon
is that they took a 7%-ish pale ale, and mixed it with some cheap 2%
low-alcohol pils. Voila - 4.5% "kolsch". Prove me wrong...

Jul 16, 2009 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.

Jul 14, 2009 Citrusy taste. Golden in color and has a white head. Good beer for a summer day with friends. Not a MUST buy.

Jul 13, 2009 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.
