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. High and lasting creamy white head leaving nice lacings. Clear yellow body. Mild and sweet apple lemon aroma. Mild sweet apple pear flavor with a pleasant hops bitterness. Low carbonation, long aftertaste. Quite refreshing

Bottle @ Vinens Verden, Odense. Pours hazy yellow with a small creamy white head and lacings. Nose is fruity, grassy and floral hops. Very fresh. Taste is dry and crisp. Medium and smooth palate. Easy, tasty and quaffable.

Enticing snout of cork, wood, bananas and ice cream. A bit too fruity to be totally authentic. But the softly malty character is, minus the spritz. Torrential bead fizzing out quickly. Slight oak and citrus. Ends up tasting too much like a cheap tinned Pils.

Pours a hazy straw, minimal white head. Caramelly, slightly smoky aroma, a bit of green apple. Flavor starts dry and astringent and very sour. Finishes sort of malty and lagery. Medium-thin body and with good complementing fizzyness.

Pours a clear light golden color with a nice fluffy white medium head. The aroma is very bright with some orange and some yeastiness. Flavors of citrus are certainly prevalent in this one with a big orange character and some nice dry graininess. This is remarkably fruity without being very sweet. Nothing to blow me over but I can imagine I’ll be drinking a few more of these this summer.

Cloudy champagne color with a white head. A very light hop aroma with touches of grass and citrus. Very light and refreshing taste, faint malt flavor, nice lemon citrus finish. Crisp, light and refreshing beer

12 oz. bottle from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). Pours a hazy yet bright yellow with a lot of visible carbonation and fairly decent white head. Aromas of light hops, grass, and a touch of sweetness. Initial taste is a smooth lighter maltiness with a bit of spicy sweet hop notes. Dry finish after the sweet and hops are gone through, this was a surprising rate indeed. The fresher the better, as I’ve had this brew when it wasn’t this good. Still, a wonderful summer session beer. Yum.
