[Tap] Tried this at the brewery in mid-September. Pours a clear golden color with a fizzy head. Nose is of grassy hops and sweet grains. Sweet and grainy taste includes soft hops, thin citrus and cereal grains. Nice body for the style. Dry finish. A good Kolsch, definitely one of the better ones I’ve had recently.

6/19/2009: Midnight Sun Kolsch has an aroma of light pale malt and grassy hops. These characteristics are echoed in the flavor: toasty malt with a grassy/Noble hop finish. It has a light bitterness. This beer has a brilliant, transparent gold color and feel medium-light in the mouth. Overall it is quite mild, but refreshing.
Draught (6 fl. oz. sample) at the Midnight Sun Brewing Company Loft in Anchorage, Alaska. Rating #14 for this beer.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A clear golden color with an alright head. Strong pilsner aroma with hop notes hidden in there. Taste is about the same, the pils malt is very strong and the hops are in there but hidden. A little too malty for my palate but well made. A bit plain for what MSBC normally does but it is a good starter to craft beer for the Bud/Miller/Coors people.
