2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20This is certainly not the best example of the kolsch style. It pours a bright and light golden color with a decent-sized and layered head. There is minimal lacing around the glass, though. I didn’t mind much complexity to the nose, as the beer didn’t offer all that much character. I got a little fruit, a slight hint of hops, bread and yeast. The body is fairly light and the flavors don’t offer a whole lot of depth. Up front, the flavors are rather bland, but the body turns fruity and bready toward the finish. I taste some lemon, grass, light hops, bread, yeast, parsley and banana. This beer seems to lack any type of maltiness or depth. Unfortunately, thanks to PA laws, I purchased an entire case at the distributor. I fear that I will find myself struggling to finish it. Thankfully I have some neighbors that also appreciate the pursuit of fine craft beer. I will definitely be pawning some off on them, if for no other reason, to simply make this case disappear. I had some high hops for this beer, but I was simply disappointed.

Pretty average at best. If you work up a sweat this will certainly do the trick.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at West Deptford Canals.
Appearance: Clear golden body with a creamy white head that has great retention.
Aroma: Interesting aroma of citrus and sweet bubblegum.
Taste: Bubblegum is on the intro and throughout, a touch of floral hops, and a splash of citrus.
Palate: Medium bodied, medium carbonation.
Overall: This smells better than it tastes. Not a bad beer, but nothing I would buy.

Draught. Pours a clear and dark golden color with a smallish white head. Nose and taste are both nothing remarkable and very reminiscent of a standard lager. A little bit of skunk in there, but slightly crisp. OK, but not worth it.

Tap during brewery tour. Pours pale yellow with thin ,fizzy white head. Aroma and flavor are cereal and biscuit malts, light fruit esters, and some light grassy hops. Very light and sessionable.

Straw gold, white head. light aroma of fruit, german hops and grain. Flavor is light, buttery, and not terribly great. Can’t say I’m a kolsch guy.

A fairly nice American interpretation of a German Kolsch. Easyily drinkable, crisp, clean and one of the better offerings from Harpoon.
