Commercial Description:
Kenzinger is a quenching golden session ale that boasts a European birthright while displaying a certain Philadelphia sensibility. Kenzinger is crisp and smooth enough to refresh, but with a spirited, unforgettable flavor that delivers 100% of recommended daily taste bud stimulation. Brewed with pure pilsner malts, light on the bittering hops but loads of hop flavor and aroma; Kenzinger is bound to be your new standby.

A very nice blond ale. Very sessionable Aroma was decent. Light malt with a earthy hoppiness. Pour was a medium cloudy gold with a thin off white film for a head. Taste was nice and hoppy. More so than any gold/blond that I’ve had. The hops dry the mouth in the aftertaste and has decent carbonation.

hazy gold with sediment and a crazy fluffy white head that built over the rim of the glass like soft swirl ice cream. dry wheat aroma, nearly offensive. Not much body, not much character, sour pickles jump out and offend me. next!

Draft. Pours clear gold with a thin, pale white head. Aroma of wheat, hops, and citrus. Weak body with a smooth finish. Average local blond ale.

A local brew for me. This is a good beer. I don’t get the lower rating for it. Pours an amber blond. Definite hop tingle on the back end, but very pleasant.

Not one of my favorites. Nice white head and good lacing but too bitter for me.

Bottle Pours a hazy straw color with a thin white head. The head lasts fairly well and laces nicely. Has a fruity aroma of apricot, and citrus. Has an okay carbonation. The flavor is harshly bitter. Has a watery texture. A light body. The finish is bitter and a strong aftertaste. Most would not enjoy the harshness but I don’t mind it all that much.

12 oz bottle of pure drain pour purchased from Canal’s Hainesport. Poured a slightly poor looking hazed golden orange body sitting underneath a huge white bubbly foamy head. Aroma had a good dose of fruitiness, peach and apricot, some bubble gum, plastic notes and wet bread. Sadly the aroma is one of the best things about this abomination. The body was thin and watery with lots of seltzer feeling carbonation. The flavor, ugh, was some sort of combation between wet bread, previously chewed fruit bubble gum and seltzer water. DRAIN POUR!!!!

Bottle. Poured translucent orange-gold with a thin white head that eventually dissipates. Aroma redolent of a belgian wit; some orange and clove present. Flavor was mellifluous, flower petals (chamomile perhaps), clove, orange, and spice. Palate was surprisingly hearty for such a little (abv I mean) beer and certainly lacked nothing flavorwise.
