Draft at the Pasadena location. A light golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw as well as a light touch of citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw and citrus, leading to a dry finish where the straw note lingers around.

[Had this as Summerfest at the DC location] A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is very lightly malty with hints of wheat. The flavor is crisply sweet malty with good hop notes that gives the beer both citrusy notes as well as a bitter finish, that balances the sweetness nicely.

From tap in Pasadena and as Summerbrau (kölsch) in San Francisco. Pours clear and yellow with a lacing white head. Light acidic and mild cornish aroma. Flavour is delicate hoppy and with a mild caramel base flavour. Light spiced and hoppy fruity to bitter into the finish.

They called this one Sommergold. Golden colour. Not much head. Aroma is fruity, berryish. Grainy character, low bitterness. HInts of fruitiness. Off-dry. Pretty bland.

Deep blond color, not even hazy. Very light malt aroma. Light malt flavor, with a hint of fruits and grass; low bitterness.
Too simple.

On draught at the Kölsch tapping party 6/29/06: Pours clear golden yellow with a good amount of bubbles. Thin and bubbly white head and minimal lacing. Aroma of light floral hops and spices. Light with a lively mouthfeel, with floral hops, malt and sweet fruit flavors. The finish is dry and effervescent, with a lingering hops flavor. Pretty good all around.
