COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In technical, brewmaster terminology, this is one groovy beer. Crisp, easy drinking, and refreshing. As groovy as a big wave ... without the salt. 25 bitterness units

Bottle @ bnielsen13 picked up at Trader Joe’s KC. Pours a clear golden appearance with a white head. A bit buttery, straw, grainy aroma. A bit tangy, grainy, grassy flavor. Light flavor.

maxwelldeux (2368) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - NOV 19, 2012
Bottle. Pours a clear copper color with very little head. Nice clean lager smell to it. Actually tastes very clean and easy. Really a nice brew, actually.

skoll (396) - Traverse City, Michigan, USA - NOV 16, 2012
single Bottle from Trader Joe’s. Pours golden with a dissipating white head, not much carbonation bubbles. Pleasant aroma of lemonade, fruity esters, and light grains. Light bodied and refreshing. Flavor of biscuit and citrus countered by a tame spicy bitterness. Crisp finish with just a very small hint of hop. for a Kolsch style it did not hit the mark with me.

shrubber85 (6047) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - NOV 6, 2012
Bottle. Floral malt aroma. Medium yellow with moderate head. Sweet corny malt and moderately bitter herbal flavor. Another less than stellar beer from Trader Joes.

Dchobbs (33) - Texas, USA - AUG 20, 2012
As a kölsch, this beer succeeds. It has a very anemic hop presence, and where it is you smell lemon and pomelo. Grain is a basic barley with a buttered white bread quality to it. Appearance is consistent if nothing else and mouthfeel is a bit slimy but bright. A good summer beer, but make sure it's done by Labor Day ;)

Sample this part of a mix pack. a rich malty flavor. overall hopping is mild. sweet beer worth another try. good Summer brew.
