13th Anniversary version. Lovely floury malty aroma, light grassy and herbal hoppiness. Taste is good. Light bittereness, high on the maltiness, guess that's the unfiltered aspect maybe. Little bit of hops at the end. Very quaffable indeed.

Cloudy golden color. Wet cardboard, pine, lemon and manure, but off balance and not executed well despite the interesting nose.

13th anniversary bottle from Tanakaya. Light mikan and floral notes on the nose but they dissipate after a few minutes. Clean and crisp on the palate. Light bitterness and crisp and refreshing carbonation. Quite delicious on a hot day and seems to brewed well to style. Quite enjoyable.

Pours quite clear, whitish golden with a decent head. Aroma is simple grainy, at first I was getting some orange but it faded. Taste is relatively light, some fruitiness in there, light, crisp and refreshing. I think its a good kolsch, not really that special as a beer but as for this style, pretty good.

Bottle shared at GBBF 2015, day 2 - London. Thanks to Phil (KansaiBeerLvrs)! Pours clear yellow with a frothy white head. The aroma has dry cereal and straw. Light sweet flavor with some dried cereal, mild dough, faintly bitter straw - little else. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Moderately clean on the finish, with more dominant pale cereal character. A simple kolsch. Fine.

Bottle at GBBF. Thanks to someone! Pale yellow, thin head. Tastes like a trad Kolsch and drinks like on. Decent

10th Anniversary Colonia. Part of the Anniversary 3-pack from the brewery via Rakuten. The anniversary beer. 5% super clear gold with a fast disappearing head. No real aroma. A crisp lager/pilsner body with minor hay notes & a clean bitter finish. My buddy Tony’s favorite of the 3 in the set. A pretty good lager. I am not a big lager guy but it is a top quality lager!

Draught at Q-Brick. Nice cloudy golden color with a low head. Pretty. Citrus hop aroma. Ruch, full malt, flavor, with honey and crackers, nice citrus hops. Medium bitterness. Very malty and full bodied for a Kolsch, yet refreshing and tasty, and still pretty authentic kolsch character. Good summer beer.
