Jul 6, 2007 10 ounce draught glass at the brewpub, June 19 2007. Hazy, very bright gold with just a touch of head and a bit of lacing....light grassy aroma with floral (dogwood) touches, pungent and expressive European hop notes appear when it has warmed somewhat....big biscuity malts envelope the tongue, nice sweet-dry balance throughout, very fresh and lightly hoppy, but alas the thinness and wateriness noted in some of the other samples I had really hurts this one....this place has some potential with a nice list of beers and a general cleanness to all of the products, but most of them need a bit more body to really shine.

Apr 16, 2007 From the description on the beer’s page: "Traditionally, Kölsch is served with a slice of lemon." Wisely, they chose not to serve it that way to me. This pours a very pale yellow body, slightly hazy, with a respectable white head. Aroma and taste are faint commodities on this one, some sugary sweet pale malts, a light lemony tartness. Fortunately, a touch of floral bitterness is introduced at the midpoint and saves this ale. Okay lawnmower brew. Shoreline Brewery, Michigan City, IN

Oct 7, 2006 On tap: Unfiltered golden hue topped by a small lasting head and left good lace on the pint glass. The aroma has notes of aromatic hops, grassy, biscuity malts, some pear notes, and a hint of pepper. The taste is clean and crisp with a nice balance of bitters and mild sweet malt and a hint of wheat. Slight acidic bite with a dash of yeast flavor yet on to a short finish. The mouth feel is properly carbonated, spritzy and refreshing, nice. Solid brew and nice to have a Kölsch that is clean and refreshing.

May 6, 2008 Probably the best Kolsch I have ever tried. On tatp at the brewpub with a pale yellow body and white head. The aroma was biscuitws and boiled potatoes. The taste was sweet potatoes with some bread crust. An earthy bread crust finish. Very good.
