3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle courtesy of stfun. Pours gold and hazy with a huge white head. Smells soapy with touches of light citrus and perfumy. Tastes of citrus and slightly watery (as is fit for this style). A little too lemony for a kolsch, but a nice light drinker.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: JUN 2, 2006 Enjoyed on tap at the brewpub. Bright golden yellow with more haze than I’d expect in a kolsch. Very mild fruity sweet, citrus aroma. The flavor was also very sweet, but still very drinkable. A bit of a drier finish would be ideal. Nice silky body. Middle of the road.

(draught) light-medium gold, almost no head, but nice lace. Malt aroma. Flavor is slightly sweet malt with a citrus hops finish. Maybe they’ve improved the brew - it was much better than what everyone else describes here.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hazy gold pour with thin white head. Acidic malty aroma. Citrus , sweet malts, and a small hop presence
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A sub-standard Kolsch. Lacks the true fruity, yet dry and subtly tangy properties of a Kolsch. It was also served way too cold. Body was thin and the taste perceptions seemed layered upon one another, never quite mixing well and fully pleasing my palate.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle straight from the brewery: Pours a clear pale golden with a small, stringy-lacing wispy white head. Aroma of semi-sweet, grainy pale malts and the slightest hint of fruity esters. Body starts about average for the style with a very mild flavor and grain husk notes before a slightly more bitter and drier crisp finish. Pretty drinkable and close to style, but that’s about it.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Sweet and slightly grainy aroma, not really appealing. Clear golden body is heavily carbonated with a soapy white head. Crisp medium body, slightly oily. Taste is biscuity, bready, and slightly grainy, sweet and malty with a touch of citrus but no hops or bitterness. Can’t call this a Kölsch, but can certainly drink it.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Tap at brewery: Geez go figure, served way too cold even for a Kölsch, finally after waiting about 20 minutes able to taste. Well it is a bit grainy and has some sweet malt background with almost no bitterness minus a hit of citric twang. Drinakble but hardly to style.
