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.

Had one of these on tap for starters at the Old Bag of Nails Pub. This brew is a light sparkling golden straw. The white creamy/frothy head is averaged sized with fair lacing and is mostly lasting. The mild and fresh nose is light flowers, caramel, and earth. The well balanced flavor has a sweet wheatish malt taste with hints of citrus and pepper. The fishish is average and bready. The refreshing palate is light, creamy, and lively, and finishes very astringent.

Thin bright white head of medium sized bubbles. Great carbonation. Light malty aroma. Some light citrus and wheat. Pleasant aroma. Slightly cloudy bright gold. Light malty flavor with a little cereal and a touch of corn. Unoffensive but pretty boring. Clean palate with a slight bitterness and zippy aftertaste. Decent but nothing special.

Mild aroma of hops. Appearance is light gold and a little cloudy. Heavily carbonated. Taste of a full bodied pilsner. Light and refreshing. Good finish of bitter hops.

Bottle. Pale golden color, thin white head, some lacing. Lemon and grass in the aroma, the flavor is citrusy and sweet with a great dry finish. The mouthfeel is maybe a tad thin, but not for a summer beer, and well-carbonated, refreshing. Overall, I’d say this beer tastes like summer, if that makes sense, and would be great on a hot summer day. By all means, a great session beer while watching a baseball game or grilling.
