2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 Scrapersnbeer (980) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - OCT 17, 2011Standard Kolsch - Can’t believe these beers are ales. Looks like a pilsener but trades skunk for mild floral. Start is bittersweet and biting followed by mellow finish. Authenticity doesn’t guarantee greatness, but here it’s adequate.

A generally sweet aroma with touch of pale malt. Flavour has sweet, slighty sticky feel. Malty with only a light bitterness. Quite a soft mouthfeel although gassy enough to cause some loud burping!

A big disappointment: the carbonation, being far too strong, was so dominant over all other features it ruined my day. Now this surprises me reading that others found carbonation mild. A bad batch?
