UPDATED: NOV 7, 2007 I don’t have much experience with kolsch, a type I don’t really care much for, but this is a pretty good beer even if not one of my favourites. It is light gold in colour with a thin white head leaving some decent, but thin, lacing. There is a noticeablebitterness but it is crisp and not at all overpowering. It has a definite bready taste that is both a little tangy and also mildly, but definitely, like hazelnuts (although less noticeable than in the Aleworks’ American Wheat).

Draft at the brewpub. 4.7% AbV. Poured a slightly hazy golden color. Head was thin and white. Fruity smell reminiscent of green grapes. There was also some subdued grassy hop aroma. Flavor was similar, but there was also a husky grain flavor that was absent in the aroma.

Clear yellow with a creamy white head. Faint bready aroma. Strong tangy wheat bread taste.

At NorCal Brewers Guild Festival at Raley Field. Light golden color with a lightly lacing white head. Light straw aroma. Nice light citrus start backed by a little malt. Light bitter finish. Very good indeed.
