Commercial Description:
This golden sparkling blond ale was brewed to pay homage to a 1000-year tradition rooted in Cologne, Germany. Clear, crisp and easy to drink, the Kolsch of today is lighter than the "House" beer that was served in Cologne 200 years ago - the city that made Kolsch famous. We hope you'll enjoy it!

My next try from the summer mix pack. malty grassy smell. Poured a rich amber and bubbled with a lot of carbination. Bubbles hist like a glass of soda. Wasn’t much on taste. thin and watery, had to keep beer in mouth for a few seconds to really get any malt taste. Will way however that as i drank this on ahumid day, the coldness of the beer ratiated from my throat for over a minute. Still not worth buying on its own.

Bottle. Pours golden amber with a white head. Light aroma, with a crisp, clean malt profile and a hint of grass. The body is a bit watery. Flavor is grain with a touch of caramel and a bit of grass. Not that bad.

Light malt with a hint of spicy fruit in the aroma. Clear golden-red color with a small white head. Light malt flavor throughout. Light creamy palate.

I could do without this one... Stale-ish aroma, pours very light with little head. Taste is watery with an unremarkable flavor. Wouldn’t drink this one again.

Bottle from the Summer Mixpack. Boring a a little hint of malt but very unremarkable. There was a slight malt finish. Would not buy again
