Crisp golden coloured body with a hint of a peach glow and a thinnish, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of malt, alcohol, pungent earth, a little sugar and some more bitterness and medicinal notes. Light-bodied; Fresh malt flavours at first with a hint of nuts and earth and very little else - thin and simple flavoured. Aftertaste shows hints of grass, hay, yeast and lemons with a lot of metallic and tangy notes that are a little offensive. Overall, a decent kolsch, but a bit too light and too funky flavoured for my liking, but not a horrible beer. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Crystal City Wine Shop (20th Street Location) in Arlington, Virginia on 22-July-2014 for US$11.99/six pack sampled at home a few blocks away from the shop on 05-August-2014.

Total Wine, Fairfax cans: Pours golden with white head. Aroma is light apple, some mild citrus, grass, bread. Taste is mostly for course. I suppose there are a little bit more hops in this than in a traditional rendition, but not by all that much. Apple notes in there of course. Not bad. Easy drinking.

Can. Pours clear golden medium lasting white head, nice lacing. Aroma is grass, grain and honey. Flavor follows, light sweet and medium bitter with a bit of metallic harshness present. Medium light body, lingering harsh bitterness and a twinge of acidity.

12oz can pours a clear, dark gold with some foamy white head and plenty of apparent carbonation. Nose is metallic at first, some cereal, some straw, a bit of honey, some dried lemon peel. Flavor has more cereal grains, a little parsnip, some straw, some lemon. Clean finish. Not bad.

Draft pour. Slightly hazy golden body with a small white head. Aroma was light malts, some grain character, light almost fruit notes, some yeast. Flavor was crisp malts, light and touch of grain. Pretty enjoyable.

Draft at the brewery. Pours a clear pale golden color with a medium sized creamy head. Good head retention. Aroma of grainy malts, caramel and faint corn notes. The taste is grainy pale malts, hay, faint grassy notes. Medium bodie, very clean and crisp. Quite nice.
