*Old rating, best before 05.03. Malzig-frisches, leicht herb-süßliches Kölsch. Lecker rund und stimmig.

The bottle looks simple, almost like a cheap beer. Starts dry, prickly-zippy with a mild fruityness. A bit moldy in the background. Not bad!

50 cL bottle, trade with Koelschtrinker. Pours pale and clear yellow with a little and dense white head. Mild hoppy aroma. Flavour is mild hoppy, delicate dryness and a light bitterness. Light hoppy and bitter finish.

Good, irregularily build yellowish head over well-carbonated straw-golden beer. Grain, CO², mown grass and young hard cheese as jonge Gouda. Sharpish grassy taste, followed by sweet, lightly toasted malts. Fairly dry finish. Light to medium bodied, grist slickness. Decent if nothing more Kölsch, seemingly slightly sturdier than most. Sweet but not too sweet. Txs, SebS.

(bottle, with thanks to DerDoppelbock) Clear, golden colour with a creamy white foam. Rather dense, light-sweet grainy aroma. Light-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, malty taste with a restrained fruitiness, fizzy palate; quite slim and short, slightly bitter finish. Mediocre Kölsch.

Riecht sehr erfrischend und hopfig, der Antrunk ist lecker ’kölschig’, typisch mild und ein wenig herb. Leider ist der Geschmack schnell verschwunden und der Nachgeschmack löst sich schnell in Wasser auf, dennoch im großen und ganzen ordentlich, weshalb ich nicht verstehe, das dieses Kölsch schwer zu beschaffen ist. Test vom 8.2.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,13,14,9,12,12 - 11,90

Fresh, fruity and creamy. Apparently the pioneering example, and it is pretty good.
