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 clear golden yellow with a thin white head. Nothing but grass and yeast in the nose and the flavor is a bit of the same with some slight fruitiness and malts floating in there. I could drink a ton of these but that doesn’t mean it’s a great beer. It’s a decent session brew but not much else.

As a thirst-quencher it’s not the worst thing available. As a kölsch, it’s fairly tasteless and not worth the effort of seeking out.

Bottle pours clear light gold in color. Nice tight head that fades quickly with a little lacing. Faint ftuity smell. Clean and smooth with some tingling on the tongue. Mellow hoppiness. Easy drinking refreshing. Good summertime brew.

UDBeernut (872) - Near Buffalo, New York, USA - MAY 20, 2013
You know its bad when you feel like a regular at some jerked off hotel bar... Never the less, the $3 happy hour pour takes the sting of that reality off. Clear gold hue with a minimal head. Nose is clean with mild malt. Taste continues with clean malt, moderate bitterness. Finish is crisp.

FROTHINGSLOSH (3977) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 19, 2013
Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a yellow color with a medium sized foamy-soapy white head that faded quickly and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweetish artificial grape and a bit of vegetal malts. The flavor was tangy and a bit tart with a bit of vegetal malts and faint citrus and grape. Short finish that turns a bit dry. Light body. Not good.

J_man (540) - Tustin, California, USA - MAY 16, 2013
Definitely smells like a Kolsch with clean, crisp biscuit malt and a bit of minerality. White soapy head and crystal clear pale yellow. There’s really not much going on here with the taste, it’s very, very light toasted malt and hay with some good balancing earthy, almost mushroomy, bitterness. Slides right by and finishes clean with a little residual vegetal aftertaste. Clean, refreshing and bright like summer.

Beerman6686 (3125) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 15, 2013
This poured a darker yellow color with a white head. Aroma was of light earthy and grassy hops, some hay and grain in there. Flavor was slightly more hoppy pale lager, with a refreshing palate finish.

Summertime and the living is easy. Clear gold. Whiffs of grain and lemon peel. Lightly sweet and sour. Refreshing

sonnycheeba (1914) - Federal Hill, Baltimore, Maryland, USA - MAY 8, 2013
Keg pour during Annapolis 5K beer run. Pours pale yellow/gold with thin, fizzy white head. Faint aroma with notes of cereal and biscuit malts, grassy hops, wheat, and light fruit. Flavor is refreshing with predominately cracker and biscuit malts and faint supporting hops and light fruit esters; dry finish. Light body and medium carbonation.
