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.

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.

Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle. Great bittersweet pale ale. Juicy malt and fruity hops combime to give a truly refreshing summer ale. Sherbert and citrus flavours on the tongue, in particular, an orangey flavour, with a good lingering finish, that becomes pleasantly tangy towards the end.

pours a pale golden yellow, effervescent, with a thin white head.....aroma of grassy hop and light grain.... flavors of grassy hop and grainy malt. thin mouthfeel. quite drinkable on a hot summer day but not all that great if given options.

Bottled 5/26, so about a month old. Pale yellow with an impressively rocky white head. Slight hop aroma. Light in body and surprisingly light in carbonation. Faint lemon taste with lagery hops (Saaz). Not much malt body. Finishes dry. Very drinkable; what it intends to be.
