330ml bottle. Straw coloured with tall, thin, quickly dissipating white head. Mild fruity aroma. Crisp flavour, but slightly mettalic. A good Kolsch.

This beer poured a foamy white head, two fingers thick, over a body of clear light gold. The aroma was mostly hopped, and the taste was mostly hops with undertones of malt. Mouthfeel was leaning to the thin side of the scale, and the finish was "okay".

2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 valpoaj (366) - Valparaiso, Indiana, USA - JUN 29, 2009
Bottle from my friend Steph...thanks! Pours a very pale orange color with a high level of effervescence, but not much in the way of a head. Sweet, malty aroma with a decent dose of corn. Flavor is, well, pretty bland...not nearly as sweet as the aroma would have suggested. Grassy notes abound, as well as a bit of bread, and a bit of malt mixed in. End is both sweet and bitter...not bad but not good. Felt a bit light on the palate, even for the style. Definitely a highly sessionable, crisp beer, but I’ll go elsewhere for my Kolsch needs...
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Bigsilky (323) - Charleston, USA - JUN 28, 2009
This beer has a nose of fresh brewery steam wtih a touch of flowery hops. A refreshing cold entry opens with fresh toast and a touch dry muscat grape. Imagine a pilsener with more body in the middle. Bubbles and soft hoppiness make this beer a clean and refrehing delight. Little pricey, but this is the genuine article.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Maddog (348) - Kettering, Ohio, USA - JUN 27, 2009
A Kolsch. Now there’s a style that I don’t know much about. I am really trying to broaden my beer horizons. With an appearance that looks like an American lager, you wouldn’t think this would be much of a beer. The aroma is that of saltine crackers and straw. This is a very light, smooth and clean beer that has a crisp finish. Flavors of grass and grains. A refreshing summertime beer.
