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 at the O’Hare venue. The only change here seems to be the seasonal bottle. Pale gold color, slightly hazy, with an ok white head. Light citrus aroma over pale malt. Medium minus body with mild carbonation. Flavor is light hop over light malt. More dry than not. Seems a kolsch.

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.

RBSG2003 Clear, straw-colored beer. The nose is lightly malty, lightly floral and citrusy. Regarding flavor? Not much there. Well-balanced though. So is seltzer! Light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, clean finish!

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.

Poured a pale yellow, fizzy white head. Light on aroma, body . Got some yeast and some clean crisp bittering. This had a strange mettalic taste. Thanks Duane.

Bottle. Excellent summer time brew. A nice German lager with a typical lager aroma characteristic. Clear golden in color with a white head. Flavor is lightly hoppy and fruity, but mostly lagerish. Similar to some pilsners, but with a more crisp and refreshing finish. Mild overall.
