Pretty standard Kolsch that had a little bit of off flavors at the end which is why it got a low rating. Had it on tap at a fast rotating bar, so it may have been the lines.

Malty, sweet smell. Pale amber colour, high white head. A bit fruity, moderately sweet. Flat, mild carbonation. Malty aftertaste. Very mild without being badly watery.

RobertDale (964) - Lansing, Kansas, USA - MAY 14, 2012
500 ml. bottle. Pours a clear light gold with an average white head. Aroma of malt, yeast, grain, and a bit of hops. Taste is yeast, grass, citrus, grain, and hops. Light and crisp. Decent kolsch.

frpilz (44) - Illinois, USA - MAY 11, 2012
Minimal aroma , feint citrus. Slight white head, laticing a bit. Interesting golden color just a tad cloudy . Mouthfeel is light at first then some body near the end. Refreshing, crisp, less flavor than other Kolsch I have had , yet good. Long sustained mild bittering throughout. Great beer served cold on a 78 degree spring day in Chicago. Not bold as a pale ale, but more than a lager. Dry, but not as dry as a pilsner. Decent overall.

RGDave (84) - Lebanon, New Jersey, USA - MAY 9, 2012
On tap at Dinosaur BBQ, Newark NJ. Clean lines. Beer pours pale golden in color, lively head, medium head retention. Wheaty, bready aroma, crisp wheat and bitter attack with a nice clean middle and finish. Nice session beer!

Koskela (22) - Marysville, California, USA - MAY 8, 2012
Aroma bout average, looked slightly cloudy/hazy. It was slightly citrusy followed by a strong alcohol taste. After a few sips the alcohol taste subsided and sweetness started to show. Over all a beer worth A buy... Not much more

prawlie (562) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - MAY 6, 2012
Half pint on draught at Reading Beer Festival 2012. Golden with a bubbly head. Pleasant malty aroma. Malty, but with a certain charm, dry a bitter. Decent for its class.

JDBaker11058 (675) - Maryland, USA - APR 28, 2012
Appearance: crystal clear light gold with beautiful fluffy white head; medium carbonation bead, minimal lacing. Aroma: light grains, toasted white bread, grass, hay, hint of citrus. Taste: toasted white bread with honey butter, notes of lemon zest and orange rind, with a hint of pepper. Finish: grassy and crisp, and nicely dry. Notes: Extraordinarily drinkable. This is what a kolsch should be. Light, unassuming and perfectly balanced, with gentle citrus and grass accents. Delightfully dry finish. If you’re trying to get a buddy off Bud Light, start here.

b3shine (188) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - APR 22, 2012
Draft to pint. Looks fine. Smells of hints of banana. Crisp, but not a lot of flavor. Good mouthfeel and easy to drink. A solid kolsch.

On tap. Totally clear golden paler yellow color. Big, thick foamy white head. Good lace. Nice, lighter crisp carbonation. More dry texture. Easy to drink, kind of refreshing. Nice bread hay aroma. Light hops. Estery flavor. Nice both sweet and bitter taste. Solid kolsch.
