COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A traditional German-Style Kolsch Ale that is light in both color and body. German Tettnang hops lend themselves to a soft and balanced aroma, while German wheat adds to the flavor. This crisp, light ale is perfect for all beer drinkers.

kramer (3376) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 21, 2011
Tap, Renn Faire. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a small frothy white head. The nose is pretty clean, just some pale bready malt and a very minimal touch of grassy hops. The flavor is very cereal grainy with some corn and DMS. Finishes with a touch of wet soggy grain. Zero bitterness from the hops . Light bodied, a touch clingy and sticky from the corn with moderate fizzy carbonation. Not the best, very pedestrian.

lithy (2913) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 5, 2010
Solid yellow gold with a white cover. Aroma is fruity, light grassy hoppiness, vanilla, sweet malts. Taste is much the same, light fruity sweet notes, pears, apples. Nice heft in the body from the wheat I suppose.

Nejhleader (1003) - Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 6, 2008
interesting flavor, had a faint sweet hint of hops, and seemed to have a little of a sweet candy taste to it as well, light and refreshing.

tronraner (2430) - Walland, Tennessee, USA - OCT 8, 2007
Draft at Bubes. Pours hazy honey gold with very small whitish head. The aroma is honey, some melon, and malt. The flavor is very carbonic with lots of hay and some cardboard. Some sugary sweetness comes out in the finish and leaves a weird floral aftertaste. As it warms, it takes on a graininess reminiscent of Indian corn. Unimpressive.

sloth (2060) - Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA - SEP 29, 2007
Enjoyed at the PA. Renaissance fair. Thin white head, short lived. Clear pale gold color with a faint orange glow. Nose is subdued bready malts and citrus. Light bodied, thin. Light maltyness, light grassy notes and maybe a hint of citrus. Dry, quick finish. It is what it is!

Draught @ PA Renaissance Faire. Pours a translucent golden orange/amber with a creamy white head. Aroma of bread, citrus, grass and cereal. Flavor of cereal…Cheerios, hints of citrus and very grainy malts.

PWalk (337) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 25, 2005
On tap PA RenFaire: Amber in color. Zero in the way of a head, aroma, or hel flavor. Some malty notes but that’s about it.

DocLock (5776) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 6, 2005
Draft at PA Ren. Fair. Poured dark straw with a nice honey malty aroma, plus citrus and hops. The palate was on the light side, but it was great on a hot summer day. More hops as it warmed, with a solid honey malt base. Fairly complex and very refreshing.
