Commercial Description:
From the talented brewers of Midnight Sun comes an incredible, beautifully bright and sunny golden ale. Every sip entices the taste buds with a bold balance of pils malt and noble hops. Midnight Sun Kolsch is a traditional German-style beer that unites the liveliness of an ale with the crispness of a lager for real refreshment any time of year. Creating a beer that truly serves both newcomers to craft beer as well as avid beer aficionados is no easy task. Midnight Sun Kolsch brewers struck gold with this beer...and now you can too.

On tap at Humpy’s - st. Patrick’s. They had made a special batch of this for Humpy’s, and dyed the beer in the keg green. So I cannot really give appropriate appearance points. I really don’t think this style should be made outside of Cologne, its just never the same to me as drinking a Reissdorf. Biscuity maltiness, extremely crisp, with a hint of herbal hoppiness in the finish, and very dry.

On tap at the 06 Great Alaska Beer and Barley Wine Festival. Big bubbled white head capping a clear, yellow beer. Noticable citrus nose. Light but solid body. Lemon-lime citrus hop flavors on top of the bready malts. Very refreshing lighter beer.

2005 on tap. Murky, golden easy drinker with a smell of green. Good summertime beverage.

Draft sample at the brewery 7/8/05: Straw-colored with a decent head. Starchy aroma but an interesting bitter tinge beyond the standard Kolschiness ... good stuff.

Sampled on tap at the brewery. Cloudy, light golden appearance, light fluffy white head. Fresh clean, mown grass aroma, slight buttery taste with a good malty backbone that adds some sweet doughy notes. Smooth, silky mouthfeel. All in all, a decent Kölsch, quite refreshing.
