IH kolsch... clean crisp aroma, lightly fruity, not very lively, grassy toasty, not lively, easy easy drinking, watery in a way... nice flavorful kolsch, doesn’t have that sweetness associated this bad kolsch’s... 6 4 6 4 13

Nitro at IH Pville. Pours a lightly hazy golden with a creamy white head. Aroma of cheerios, wheat, citrus hops and grassy notes. Flavor of cheerios, banana, citrus and wheat.

Draft at Maple Shade. Poured a mundane looking thin super light colored straw body under a small fizzy bright white head, is this a macro? Aroma is all cereal and grains with a slight touch of corn and vegetables. The body is watery with strong carbonation. Luckily the flavor really steps it up with lots of fresh slightly sweet cereal grains and super crisp grassy hops. Not much to look at smell but the flavor really came through.

On tap at Lancaster brew pub Kölsch Alc by Vol: 4.3% . A delicate golden ale brewed with just a touch of wheat. Very crisp, more so than most ales. A nice hop finish.

[At GABF 2004] A pale yellow beer with a fine yellow head. The aroma is sweet and quite wheaty. While the flavor is malty with notes of citrus as well as hints of wheat. The mouthfeel is flat.

Draft at North Wales. Typical kolsch color, aroma, and taste, with finishing hopcit, slight honey sweetness, and a great smooth crispness. Ver drinkable.

UPDATED: MAY 2, 2010 Poured a golden color with a small white head and very light lacing on the glass. Aroma was toasty, doughy and rather sweet. Taste seemed dominated by adjuncts, though there was also some lemon and citrus. Overall seemed rather watery with a good amount of carbonation.

Poured a light yellow with a small white head. Like the color, this was light in aroma and tastes. Light malts. Clean and dry finish. Didn’t do it for me...
