Draft at Good Bar, Seattle on 16th August 2025. Bright, clean and clear light golden body, snow white crown. Typical crisp Kolsch with subtle maltiness below a mild hop bitterness. Refreshing and easy to quaff.

500 ml bottle. Aroma is bready sweet malt, grainy. Pours clear golden with a one finger bone white head that falls into a skiff and ring of foam pretty quickly. Taste is moderately sweet with light hop bitterness. Great creamy mouthfeel. I’ll never be a big fan of the Kolsch style, but if someone forced me to drink one at gunpoint, I’d probably pick this.
