never actually drank this after doing yardwork but mainly for football games.

12 oz bottle from Ben. Very light yellow pour with a big foamy white head. Fresh, sweet aroma with some citrus notes. Flavor is more of the same with a clean crisp finish. Excellent refreshing beer.

Sampled at GABF on 9/16/2010. This Kolsch pours a light gold color from the tap. Medium to large sized white foamy head. The aroma is cereal, grain, fruity and sweet. A medium bodied Kolsch. The malts are fruity and sweet, a touch of banana and clove. The hops are herbal. Nice carbonation, Light and refreshing. Crisp and clean. Great lawnmower beer, very drinkable. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

bottle. a clear gold beer with a lively appearance and medium, whipped white head. cereal grain aroma with a moderate sweetness and pleasant whiff of fresh floral hops. almost thick palate with lots of creaminess. flavors like liquid honey nut cheerios that finishes with, yes, a grassy lingering bitterness. very sessionable, although not as dry and light as one would expect for the style. very impressed with the several st. arnolds beers i’ve had so far, the folks in houston are pretty lucky to have such a solid home base brewer.

UPDATED: MAR 21, 2008 This beer was awesome! Great apple-like smell, nice head and a good taste that also has a slight apple sweetness with a good amount of bitters." ..this was my first micro i ever had, thanks dell’osso’s

Rerate
had fresh at the brewery on tap... ...god, beautiful stuff fresh! smell and taste are wonderfully amplified! ..i could drink this aaaallll the time if i had a kegerator!

Nice, fresh tasting Kolsch style. Not hoppy, has a slightly citrus and herb flavor. Goes down easy, but has more substance than Bud, etc...

A real Texas microbrew. Its light, refreshing, crisp. The lightest beer they make. Prefect summertime beer. If only everyone got the joke.

Appearance: Everso slightly hazy, yellow body with a small, white head. Smell: Soft pale malts in the nose. Noble hops smelling spicy and of dehydrated grasses. Faint fruitiness. And there’s a wheat note that gains in prominence as it warms. Taste: Light pale maltiness with, perhaps, a slight hint of tangy wheat. Mildly sweet. Light touch of fruit. Spicy Noble hops provide a mild, balancing dose of bitterness. Finishes dry and reasonably crisp, with a lingering creamy wheat hint. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: It’s crisp, clean, and quite drinkable. Though I could personally do with just a small bump in hop bitterness, I ultimately found it to be a quality Kölsch.

Tap. dark yellow with a light head. sweet dried date aroma. has a light fresh, clean taste of grapes and some other fruit i can’t place. i enjoyed this it was good.

Courtesy of northernbrews. Yellow/golden, film for head. Aroma of cereal, euro hops, very faint corn. Flavor on par, well balanced, missing the mineral character in the backend. Nice mouthfeel, perfect carbonation. Well done, few tweaks be a greta kolsch.
