12 ounce can. Amber orange color. Nice Amber orange color topped by a moderate Rocky white head with clinging lace. Slightly grainy, bready malt nose. Interesting bitter grainy malt flavor with a hint of mustard seed and lemon peel. Dry and crisp. Grassy hops in finish. Pleasant and refreshing.

Can at home not sure why I grabbed this I got over whelmed at store and just blindly picked things. Pours light yellow. Nose is light citrus and grains. Tastes of lemons, some grass, hint of toffee. Slightly metallic after taste. Pleasant enough but boring.

Not sure what’s going on here again. Typical random kolsch. Pours a little orange with some head and lacing. Some barley profile. Not really spot on style. On tap at DC Beer Festival.

Kolsch in a Kan. What would my German grandmother say? Deep golden color, small white head that settles quickly. Aroma of light citrus and bread dough. Taste is hay, lemon, clean finish.

Pour is a clear bronze with a large white head. Aroma is a decent lager grainy. Flavor is slight dry grainy malt and not much after that. Finish is clean and dry with no real aftertaste. Fine for a kolsch. but still nothing exciting.

12 oz can purchased at Pinocchio’s Beer Garden in Media, Pennsylvania. 10513 stamped on bottom of the can. The pour is a slightly hazed golden with a frothy ¾ inch egg white head. The aroma is soft cereal grain, malt sweet, bit of grass. The taste is cereal grain, faint sweetness, mineral, and a bright earthy hop character. The palate is medium to light bodied, softly effervescent mouth feel, dry mineral finish. Clean, easy drinking beer.

12oz can picked up in VA. In a lot of ways this is a pretty solid offering. Soft and medium bodied, but has some bitter, floral, astringent hop action too. Still fresh after sitting in my refrigerator for months. A respectable offering.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall microfoam off-white head with some orange and copper tints - very nice. Aroma of fresh malt, light wheat, a touch of lemons and a tiny bit of sugars. Light-bodied; Sharp malt up front with not much behind aside from a touch of lemons and a bit of metal. Aftertaste is light and airy with some grassy notes and a tiny bit of sugars. Overall, a pretty one dimensional beer with some light malt flavours and a hint of sugars, but that’s about it - oh, and maybe a tinge of lemons. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-July-2012 for US$1.25 sampled at home in Washington on 20-August-2012.

Big Top Beverage Mart, Roslyn PA case: Purchased this to go to a music festival, so I drank a bunch of these out of the can. However, yesterday I finally poured one. Poured a light gold with a white head. Aroma is slightly fruity with pale malts. Taste is much the same. Everything about this beer is as it should be. Sessionable and refreshing. I could finish 12 of these in one sitting.
