Formerly brewed at Smuttynose Brewing Company
Style: Kölsch
Portsmouth, New Hampshire USA

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

Hazy orange gold. Small white head. Lovely floral/hoppy flavors. So maybe it isn't a classic Kölsch, it's a really nice beer.

Hazy light gold w/ small head. Fairly strong (especially for style) earthy, hoppy nose. Medium, slightly resiny body. Earthy, malty, somewhat meaty flavours w/ notes of orange give way to a moderately dry, mderately bitter finsih.

Malty, hoppy aroma, golden amber, medium white head. Malty with touch of hops flavour, pleasant mouth fell. A very nice beer, Kolsch? I think not.

light golden colour. sweet candy-ish aroma. sweet flavours and moderate hops. nice drinkable beer

Sweet, bubble-gummy aroma. Foggy, deep gold color. It has an accessible, but reasonably complex flavor. It’s sweet balanced by bitterness. A lovely, mildly alcohol/malty flavored beer that seems mild and very drinkable (as in it would make a good session beer).

Are they sure it’s Kolsch? It was quiet different than those I’ve tried in Koln. Overly bitter.

Cloudy gold-copper hue. Nice aroma. Good light taste with some hops. A good session beer. Of course it’s a crime for an adopted Düsseldorfer to drink beer originally from Köln, but they won’t chase me to Canada for the punishment!

Available in May? Not in Toronto, we’ve got it now! Light hay colour, kind of hazy; lightly earthy, hoppy nose (spalt?); a little bit acidic, light carbo for the style; dryish finish. It’s a tasty drop, but not authentic by any means.
