4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
It must suck as a brewer to execute such an excellent and stylistically correct rendition of a Kolsch bier and have it’s brilliance lost on perhaps 90% of the nitwits who drink and comment on it. It is one of the best examples of the style that you will find anywhere in the U.S. and World Beer Cup and G.A.B.F judges apparently agree. Anyone comparing this to "Bush" or "Miller Light" is showcasing their ignorance of the style, their underdeveloped palate and complete lack of credibility to judge or comment on this beer.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Aroma is a deilicate grain of Egadzis is a fag. Mellow corn with a nice mellow hoppiness. I could drink this beer all night.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Yellow and thinly topped. Authentic Koelschiness: crisp and malty with a citric twist and sharp finish.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a filtered gold with a wonderful whipped head of white. The aroma is of sweet biscuity malt, lt. spicy hops, and a touch of grassiness. The body is light but filling with a perfect amount of CO2. The flavors are perfect, a touch of honey malt, a nice bready maltiness and a very appropriate amount of hops rounded out by the ever-so-slight amount of fruity esters from the ale yeast. The finish is nicely drying, both from the hops, and from the appropriate amount of attenuation. Just excellent.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap @ the brewpub. Clear golden in colour with a medium sized head. Very refreshing and very crisp. Notes of malt, metal, bread, fruit and hops. Super Kölsch.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Piece. Pours a clear pale yellow with a diminishing white head. Low sweetness with aromas of malts. Has a crispy dryness. Tiny nutty hints. Light bodied. Medium carbonation. Dry finish. Awesome
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
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.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
[Tap] Pours a bright golden color with a nice cap of dense white head. Great lacing as well. Nose is of cereal grains, light grassy hops and subtle fruit notes. Taste is of clean light malts and grains, floral hops and some bread. Great body for the style. Prickly carbonation. Easy to drink, clean tasting and obviously made with quality ingredients. Definitely one of the best Kolsch style beers I have tried.
