Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

One of the most perfect summertime beers, I’ve been able to introduce my beer-novice friends the joy that is a refreshing Kolsch as they are now selling these in wonderful 5L mini-kegs. I’m so glad to have this available. I dont’ detect the mint, vanilla, or ’cedery finish’ that MJ did...but it’s still a great warm weather beer.

On tap at the Map Room. Pours clear gold with white head. Sweet malty nose with a touch of hops. Very nice and light with subtle flavors of malt and some hops. Could be a nice sessions beer.

Excellent stuff, and probably the most refreshing Koelsch there is! Good news - although definitely not the most easy to find, it is available also as the bottled version. The flip side is the US price, which is usually at least 3$ (tends to be 5$ though!). Get it in the Summer, refrigerate properly, and open while watching your favorite game. Prepare 5 bottles per person.

UPDATED: SEP 7, 2008 Crisp and refreshing. It is very drinkable ...Looks: Gold body, foamy. Clear and clean. Dry with a long finish.

Tap. Pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma of pilsner malt and a hint of floral hops. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Very refreshing.

By far my favorite and in my opinion one of the best examples of the style on the market. Refreshing, with a slightly buttery biscuit maltiness, simple graininess, a light bit of floral hops. Very drinkable.

bottle thanks to tom at the paisley beer fest- pours golden yellow clear perfect lager clearness, no head thick barnyard corn chip sunflower oil nose, tastes cloyingly sweet, cornchips and sugar.

Light gold or blonde in color with some minty hops and banana aromas. Sweet vanilla maltiness with a clean dry finish. Crisp and refreshing.
