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.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a thin short lived head, over a slightly cloudy, pale yellow (SRM 5) body......nose of light malts, hay, grass, slight hops.....taste is light malt, light hop, dry throughout....mouth feel is light, bubbly. A pleasant light beer that meets its style reasonably well.

fruity sweet apricot flavor in hops it is exactly the best way i have ever tasted it. tart and chalky it is fairly simple and pretty good. it finishes light with just a bit of lingering flavor. it has good carbonation. surprised it does’nt rate a bit higher.

Light sweet bready/grainy nose. A touch of hops. Pours light golden with a soft white head. The flavor is lightly sweet with notes of bread, grain, honey, a dash of corn maybe, and a crisp finish.

Pours a cloudy orange-straw color with foamy white head that diminishes quickly. Aroma has notes of citrus, mainly orange; a bit flowery, clover. Taste is wheat, coriander, earthy, medium hopped, surprisingly creamy texture. Good Kolsch!

Pours a clear golden with a fluffy white head. Aroma is malty with hints of lemon and corn. Taste is very much the same: corn, malt, some lemon and other fruity notes, honey, and earthy hops. Mediocre for its style.

Pours a pale yellow with a small white head. The aroma is light and grassy... pils malt and mild hops. Flavor is nice and refreshing. A mix of grassy hops and light but sweet malt. Clean, crisp finish. Perfect for summer outings.
