on tap at the new brewpub in the Byward Market. Golden pour, next to no head. Pretty boring aroma, not much malt, just some grassy hops, and wet grass, and some dull grains. The flavor is pretty boring also, grassy, and grainy.

Pale golden color and a white head (more head than you get in Cologne!). Cereal, grainy, clean, faint hoppy. Lite body. Yeah, ok. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kolsch on 21 May 2023 at 18:01 - Score: 6. Original review text: Paöe golden color and a white head. Cereal, grainy, clean, faint hoppy. Lite body.

Keg at Clocktower Elgin St, Ottawa. Clear pale golden, small head. Fruity nose with notes of red apples. Sweetish with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with light notes of butter and grass. Low bitterness. A tough style to do, never had a good keg version anywhere I can remember.

Can: Poured a hazy golden color Kolsch with a nice white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of cereal notes with light faint sweet notes is enticing enough for the style. Taste is a nice mix cereal notes with some final sweet notes and some light subtle buttery notes. Body is above average for the style with good carbonation. Easily drinkable even though it is a bit off from the style guideline.

It would be a disservice if a kitsch weren’t boring. That’s the point, right? Pours golden with good head and lacing. Some barley here as well. Finishes with nice crispness. Some very light sugared malt as well. Watery consistency. Tap at brewpub.

Dégustée en fût sur place à l’établissement sur Bank. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt doux et avec de subtiles notes de miel, de fruits (agrumes) et de houblon floral. Moyenne-mince ronde en bouche et moyennement pétillante en bouche avec une texture huileuse et légèrement aqueuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle sucrés avec quelques traces fruitées (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un très léger goût de miel et de caramel doux (notes de beurre) et en finale l’on retrouve des notes amères de de houblon floral aux traces herbeuses. Post-goût court-moyen, très légèrement amer de houblon floral. (hiver 2005-06)

Originally rated January 2006. Poured a golden colour with slight amber in it. The head was white and did not have much retention, nor lacing. Good fruity nose, specially light fruit, with undertones of grapefruit. Nice smooth taste with a grainy finish and some bitterness. Also, mild fruitness was found in the aftertaste, with some grapefruit and grain malts. Kind of creamy mouthfeel. Great session brew that was refreshing with a nice pleasant taste.
