small white soapy head atop a pale straw colored body. bit of lacing. Nose and taste are the same, corn grain, sweat, and salt. mouthfeel is carbonated and fizzy. medium finish. As far as kolsch goes, not bad.

Holden hue with a soft head that settled into a nice bubbly film. Slight sweet malty, mostly tart, kolsch flavor with a slight hop finish.

Clear yellow with some small white head. Smell is doughy and malty sweet. Bubbly palate that almost feels cotton-like. Overall, drinkable and light. Not bad at all.

sneagrams3 (2337) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - MAY 19, 2008
Tasted 4/30/08. Sample 7 from the brewpub. Lively with a golden hue. White head. Floral yeasty aromas with a note of...yeah, Chinese food. Bready and toasty. Mild effervescence. Tart and bitter. Touch banana and fried food? In such a bad way. I’m writting this off to contamination or a dirty glass. Because this was terrible!

hopscotch (8212) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - MAY 14, 2008
Draft… DLD’08… Lightly hazed yellow ale with a mid-sized, foamy, white head. Fantastic retention. Nice nose on this one… yeasty with a touch of perfume and nice biscuit notes. Medium-bodied and very creamy with lively carbonation. Well-balanced with moderate pale grain sweetness and a crisp, medium bitter hop bite. Snappy hop finish.

Pours very golden with a whitish light head. Smell is bready, lagery maltiness and slighty sweet. Taste is on the sweet malty side and is very crisp, refreshing and bubbly. Very easy drinking and a pretty damn good kolsch, I thought. Solid beer.
