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.

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.

(bottle). Pours a clear golden color. Medium white head. Light malt aroma with light fruit. Very light malt flavor. Short duration. Soft carbonation. Thin texture. Fair lacing.

Clear pale golden in color with a frothy white head that leaves nice lacing. Bubbles continually rising in the beer. Appearance makes me think this will be a refreshing beer. Sweet malty aroma, like sweet bread, is light. Flavor is light as well, malts with a banana honey undertone. Mildly watered down. Somewhat medium bodied, coats the tongue nicely but leaves the mouth a little sticky.

12 oz bottle. Clear straw brown with a perky white head. Nose is dough, corn and faint lemon. Foamy then kind of slick. Taste is mild tangerine with a squirt of lime. Dry finish with hints of sweetness.

From the bottle, nice bit of malt & slight lemon peel on the nose. Palate nicely rounded, soft barley coming through that fades into dryness. It’s the Ronseal of beers, a summer beer & that’s it, nothing fancy but would be very pleasant in the hot weather & thus a beer I shall not be revisiting much in England.

Thanks (I think) to rustychiles for the share on this. Aroma: corn, corn, corn, corn, corn (mild vomit?). Taste is quite bubbly with with some light pils and quite a bit of corn. The aftertaste is better than the beer itself. Somewhat like cornbread in a good way. Better than Bud, but not much. Looks cool.
