Taps Istanbul Kölsch

Brewed by Taps Istanbul Brewery & Restaurant
Style: Kölsch
Istanbul, Turkey

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

Bottle at Monks Sveavägen. short white head that goes down to a thinn lace. light yellow and clowdy color. Pear aroma. Strange taste with some dry fruit wine taste mixed with the dry beer taste. Not unplesent just unexpected.

Straw colored beer out of the bottle with a big, foamy white head. Light nose with some cat urine and over ripe fruit. Oddly plastic taste with some lemon and grain notes. The finish has some sour funk to it and that hint of cat urine again. I would not have bought this had I realized I’d already rated a beer from Turkey. Next time will be when I am in Turkey.

They think they brew kölsch but I am sure they ve never drunk kölsch. Also they use 100% pale malt in Hefe Weizen :) Sorry guys we are not stupid !

Milder Antrunk, sehr leicht hopfig, im Mittelteil etwas herb. Das Bier ist zwar erfrischend, jedoch selbst im Vergleich mit weniger kräftigen Kölschen mild bzw. aromenarm. Leicht getreidig, etwas bitter werdend, zum Ende hin endlich leicht würzig. Ok. Test vom 11.8.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,7,8,8,14,7 - 7,95

Bottle@Taps, İstanbul.. Clear golden colour, some bitterness of hops and taste of malt, bready but fresh..

Bottle. Pale yellow colour, little head. Light body, mild bitterness. Average taste.

clear pale yellow, nice fluffy head, slowly dissipates... aroma is of mild grass, some nice biscuity flavors... easy drinking, somewhat grassy, fruity, light bodied, nice flavor, quite good...

Bottle, 4.2%. Slow gusher. Refreshing citric aroma, hint of piney hops. Clear yellow colour, sparkling. The flavour has a mild note of the same pine as the aroma. Otherwise quite mild. Not as clean as a real Kölsch, but a good try.
