COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The pride of Cologne. A delicate golden ale brewed with just a touch of wheat. Long cold storage makes this beer much cleaner and crisper than most ales. It’s all topped off with a gentle, German noble hop finish. OG: 1.045 Color: 3 IBU: 28

Pours a golden color with a white soapy head that lingers. Aroma of bread, toasted malt, and fruit. Fruit sweetness with bread, and toasted malts. Easy drinking summer beer. Not a big Kolsch fan, but this one is quite nice.

20120701 tap at IH Lancaster. Golden color beneath small lasting white head. Aroma is somewhat bready, or pizza doughish, with a slightly musty hop note. Flavor is full on cereal, maybe Kix, plus maize, and only a touch of earthy hops. Not too exciting, and perhaps more premium lager like than Kolsch but what the hell it was good enough. Gotta love a place where even the stuff you like least is still acceptably good.

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.

Ungstrup (26267) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - JUN 3, 2005
[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.
