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.

How can it be a true session beer when it’s difficult to even drink one of these watery brews. Is there something amiss in the bottling line?

Definitely an easily drinkable beer and thats why it is their session beer but it was nothing special. Smelled hoppy but did not translate to the flavor.

Draft. Pours gold with a white head. Light malty aroma with some hops. The flavor has honey/caramel malt with grassy hop notes. Nice.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy, pale gold body with a thin, wispy, white head. Smell: Combination of lemon juice, pils malts, vague spice notes, and some out of place off scent. Hmm, I have a bad feeling about this. Taste: Cereal grains with a pinch of juice and a squirt of lemon. You know that watery juice you get if you don’t remember to shake up a bottle of French’s mustard? Yeah, well, it seems some of that found it’s way into the beer. Peculiar twanginess throughout. Spicy hops with a mild bitterness. A finish that can’t come quick enough. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-high carbonation. Drinkability: An odd beer and not in a fun, quirky way. I didn’t particularly care for it. Not recommended.

12oz bottle. Hazy golden color. Fizzy white head. Aroma of malted barley and some hops. Basic. Flavor of sharp spicy hops. Malt well hidden. Some lemon flavors. LIght body.

From a brown 22oz bottle - Pours a cloudy light pale color with almost no head and well below average carbonation. Smells of light malts and a tad of hops in the nose. First sip is sweet with a light malt backbone. Very light bodied, lightly hopped, but not too light. Nicely carbonated.

Clear light copper with a little white head and hardly any carbonation. Simple, easy hoppy smell with some lemon, grapefruit, citrus and grainy notes, as well as a little o-zone. The taste is very clean and crisp with lots of hops. Grass, pine, lemon and citric pine notes mix well with the simple malt background. The finish is clean, and it’s a little thin in the mouth. Overall I actually really dig this beer for what it is. It’s easy and accessible with lots of appeal for the masses. I like it a lot and can’t wait to have more.

Draft: Decent brew, with hops and bitters present. Not the best I’ve ever had, but very drinkable
