Poured a light yellow with almost no head. Light tastes and smells. Citris and floral. Tastes better and stronger than the smell. Kolsh is another style I’m fairly new to and may be a little light for my tastes (but this one tasted good).

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 MartinT (6150) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - NOV 9, 2003
UPDATED: NOV 20, 2004 The throat as an lemon zest hourglass...Dry and dusty, earth-laden grass powder trickles down with care to slowly fall onto the biscuity soil...Tasty relaxation ensues from staring at this relentless, soft hopfall...
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Rastacouere (5900) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - NOV 10, 2003
UPDATED: NOV 20, 2004 This looks like clear liquid gold wearing a rocky white head that sticks to the glass like I love it and displays rather heavy carbonation. Nose of cereals, grass, firm citrus and barnyard. In mouth, there’s a light yet nice biscuity maltiness reminding me of my lemon&poppy muffins. What strikes me in this beer is its uniformity, the flavor development is very uniform. While this removes from the complexity, I found it very original and don’t remember any other beer providing such linearity. Floral, slightly tart, grassy. The bitterness follows a constant intensity from the beginning until the end. Pleasant surprise, I’d definitely like to have a few Kolsch in Germany to clean my palate before the big doppelbocks!

Poured a cloudy pinkish gold with a small white head, with big bubbles and light lacing. Lemony malt, dry earthy nose. God damn thats a nice Kölsch! Very subtle in every way, hops, tart citrus, doughy, dry finish... simply awesome. Quite refreshing.
