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 (2009) in a makeshift Kolsch glass; slightly hazy golden w/ an initially brimming white head that steadily devolved into some insipid bubbles; aroma is pretty empty, barring a slightly sweet maltiness; flavor is again nothing special, w/ some cereal and mild hops; quickly fades into a clean, dry finish; not as refreshing as they say and eminently forgettable.

Mild -sessionable - refreshing.
Diminishing white head, spare lacing. Sunflower yellow clear brew. Nose is bread, a little metal, sweet. Average malt presence with hints of cereal and grain. Grassy, earthy light hops support. Light body, thin texture.
Not bad, but I doubt I’d ever purchase a six pack.

Pale gold with a thin white head. Aroma is light sweet grainy malt and grassy/straw hop. Earthy slightly sweet malt flavour, with a tangy grassy hop balance.

Bottle. Pours a golden body with a thin white lacing. Sweet citrus and wheat, cereal notes and a light bread y and spiced infusion. Thin and dry. Not a bad summer brew but nothing to write home about.

Bottle. Pours a yellow gold color with a white fluffy head. Fruity and light aroma, and the taste follows. A with a nice hoppy, wheat bite. A medium bodied, light malt balance.

Poured cloudy yellow. Light fruity aroma. Light flavor with touches of malt and floral hops. Very subtle. Drinkable summer beer, but nothing stands out.
