Slight spicy hops and sweet honey on the nose. Gold with a very slight orange hue. Clean honey sweetness, with a medium hop flavor. Very effervescent and refreshing. Nice finish. An excellent Ale substitute for a Pilsner.

Draft. Interesting sweet fruity-bready flavor. Flavor declined sharply as glass warmed during normal sitting. Easy drinker yet nothing that blew me away.

harrisoni (9614) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - FEB 11, 2008
500ml bottle from Battersea BF 08. Pale gold with lasting white head. Typical lemony light style of beer. Man, I love kolsch. So refreshing and light. Just so beautifully lemony, light and refreshing. Great lager. If I ever did a hard days work, this is the beer I would want first of the evening to slake the thirst and refresh my body and brain.

Gekocht bij Trinkgut Holzminden € 0,73. Lekker biertje. Of komt dat doordat ik hem drink op de vooravond van carnaval. Hij smaakt lekker zacht.

500 mL bottle, poured into a Pilsner glass (I didn’t have a Stange handy!). Appearance: Light golden color, much like a macro international Pilsner, but much lovelier. "Spun gold" is an apt descriptor. A nice, small head, and lots of carbonation-bubbles. Nose: The aroma of summertime. Fields of grain, wonderful smell of hay, and a nice modest hop aroma. I would call the overall aroma sensation, "beer." Taste: A lagerish-ale. Nice notes of grain, a pleasant smooth-bite, reserved hops (quite refreshing), with a lovely grassy finish that reminds me I’m drinking a traditional ale and not some bland mass-produced Thing. Very subtle throughout. Palate: smooth, smooth. Refreshing, no complaints. Overall: Remember this one for summertime! This would be great for a summer afternoon, although it fit the bill on this warm January day. G. Oliver is apt in calling it a "lawnmower beer." It’s not a knock-you-off-your-socks distinctive brew, but its overall agreability serves it quite well. Reissdorf would be a wonderful introduction for your Miller/Bud/Coors friends into the wider world of beer. With food, veggie quesadillas, good pizza, and lighter grilled fare would fit the bill perfectly.
