1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Clear yellow, small white head. Light-bodied beer with vigorous carbonation, but not much different from a generic light lager. A bit more acidic character, I suppose. Aromas of malt, touch of earthy hops and citrus.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle pours clear pale yellow with brief thin white head. Aroma faintly grassy with fruity esters. Taste grasses, faintly sweet with a mildly hoppy medium slightly bitter finish. Palate light body, average carbonation, thin feel. Alcohol not apparent.
Very drinkable but kind of a lightweight, which I guess is typical of the style. It’s OK but I wouldn’t seek it out.

Slightly fruity Kolsch. Light overall. Fairly drinkable. I drank it, after all. But not much else.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught at the Canton Chinese Restaurant in Cologne. Fine, solid head on medium gold beer. Slightly grassy hop aroma with cereal malts. Nice and crisp, with a touch of citrus. Light malts, a bit sweet, with some fruit and grassy hops. Slightly bitter at the finish. A bit boring, but clean and not too sweet. Decent, but not at all great.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at the Map Room. Pours a clear yellow color with medium white head. Aroma is of light fruity and grassy notes and lightly toasted malt. Taste is fruity, and light grassy hops and light straw malt. A solid and highly drinkable kolsch.

Yellow, clear. Thin white head. White bread and a hint of black pepper in the aroma. Crisp and clean, peppery and winey at first, then a dryish finish. Pretty simple, I guess. I was expecting something a little bit sweeter, I suppose. Drinkable, but not exceptional.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A pleasant Kolsch. Not very complex but quite drinkable. Touch of hops and slight grassiness Serving: Bottle and Tap
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
bottle. Pours crystal clear yellow gold with small white head. Aroma of cooked vegetables, orange, corn. Flavor is slightly bitter, of corn and hops, pretty crisp, with a clean finish. Medium to light bodied, slightly watery. Highly drinkable. No complaints here, although this is nothing special. I guess I expected a little more for something rating so highly within this style although i realize this style doesn’t get very complex. Overall, a good beer though.
