3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light German lager, nothing too special but not at all bad. Give it to "light" beer drinkers as a stepping stone towards something better.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
500ml Bottle: Pours a clear pale yellow gold with a fizzy white head that mostly fizzed away,
some sweet, fruit and malt aromas, faint floral fragrance,
taste of pilsner malt, medium or more crisp citrus hop bite that lingers to the end and some thereafter,
leaves your tongue pretty dry with a lemon citrus taste and feel, mouth feel is a little less than medium, comes across as a delicate beer, has more of a hop bite than your typical pale lagers, light on the palate and easy to drink.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Very light colored and crystal clear, high carbonation. Grainy aroma reminiscent of malt liquor. Very dry, crisp and fairly clean tasting. As it warms the flavor is enhanced. A hard style to appreciate. This is good kolsch but overall average.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Crisp yellow color with light grainy nose. Not a lot of head on my sample. Refreshing grain body.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a clear straw gold with a white head that rises well off an aggressive pour but falls fast. Nose is malty, slightly sweet, and overall mild. Flavor is slightly sweet with a grainy tone to it. Smooth and even. Feel is good with a low carbonation and a decent mix of ingredients. Definitely drinkable. If you want to try a kolsch for the first time, this is a decent enough one to do it with.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JAN 15, 2008 500 ml. Clear pale gold with a medium, creamy and lasting head. Aroma is skunk, slight honey, and toasted nut. Flavor is toasted nut, grassy bitter herbs and slight floral honey malt. Palate is light and smooth, with a dry astringent finish..
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Light gold in colour with fairly strong carbonation. Nice aromas of cereal grains, honey, and mild grassy hops. It’s got a nice gentle grainy flavor that complements the light, slightly earthy, hop notes. A very light lemony-white grape flavor is present too. Finishes biscuit dry. More Helles-like than expected, but a nice patio beer nonetheless.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
5L keg at our Septoberfest party. Pours a clear pale yellow color with noticeable bubbles and a medium white head that dissipates steadily. Small patches of lacing. The aroma is grassy hops with mild malt. Light, clean body with hops, straw and sweet malt flavors. The finish is moderately hoppy with a sweet malty aftertaste. Decent all around, although I am not sure it justifies the higher price tag given other domestic Kölsch choices are just as good.
