COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A beer true to its roots. This ale is brewed with all German ingredients and is similar in style to the great Kolsch beers of Cologne, Germany. This ale boasts a generous portion of pale malt blended with light wheat and crystal malt providing a crackery and wheaty aroma and taste. The ale is fermented at cooler temperatures with yeast that delivers a winey and slight fruitiness to the beer. The sweetness of the brew is harnessed by the slight dryness of Noble German Hops as well as the colder fermentation temperatures. The soft water used is similar to the water in Cologne, Germany and provides a perfect background and finish to the beer. The late addition in the kettle of lemon peel enhances the fruitiness and compliments esters from fermentation. Light in body but not in palate, this ale is clean, crisp, and delicious!

Bottle. Very light golden color with just a tinge of orange. The head is very big, airy, white. The aroma is sweet and grassy. The beer drinks with a creamy consistency, and a very light grainy appeal. Not a bad summer sipper. (#4740, 8/22/2012)

regspeir (194) - Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 4, 2010
A growler from Whole Foods in Plymouth Meeting, Pa. pours a straw gold with a 2-finger head which settles to a coating. Lacing is light but there throughout. Nose is some hops, pale malt, lemon, and some grassiness. Taste is a nice blend of hops, some fruit, especially lemon, wheat, some breadiness and a pleasant crisp hop-tinged finish. Mouthfeel is light to medium with ample carbonation. This is a good brew for a hot, summer afternoon and definitely sessionable.
