Das klassische Gaffel Kölsch ist eine besonders frische Kölner Bierspezialität, die nach bewährtem Familienrezept und dem Deutschen Reinheitsgebot von 1516 mit Wasser, Malz und Hopfenextrakt gebraut wird. Der feinherbe, angenehme, leicht hopfenbetonte Geschmack ist charakteristisch für dieses Traditionsprodukt und unterscheidet Gaffel Kölsch deutlich von allen anderen Kölschmarken.

pint can. pours a clear 14k gold color with a large foamy white head that has fair retention. The aroma is cereal grains and a trace of spicy hops. The taste is grains, corn, and a good dose of spicy noble hops. The palate was light and crisp with very lively/prickly carbonation. Finished medium and duration with lingering hops. Overall: Not bad for a fizzy yellow beer.

Tap in the hotel bar in Cologne prior to heading out into the Saturday evening madness. Decent looker overall and very refreshing. Decent hop character and got smashed in about two gulps.

On tap at Cafe de Zaak, El Arenal in Majorca, Spain. A golden coloured pour with a decent white head on top. Vaguely bready, malty, some citrus fruit. Not a memorable kolsch but just about OK in the heat.

Drinking this one three days ago, at Köln, German efficiency with this beer that it was not the case with the DB and our four hours delay. Classical beer, light and malty, a bit metalic, bready and dry, a bit sparkling, German bitterness.

6 pack of long neck bottles picked up at Monroe Liquor for grilling season. Pretty good kolsch, drinks light but certainly has flavor to it. Waxy, sweet grain aroma. Flavor has a lot of that similar, slightly rich grain, with a modest crisp finish. Cool, easy drinker. Does it's job when I'm in the mood for something like this.

Tap. Pours really golden w/ big head. Taste is sort of bitter, kind of a strange bitter aftertaste but pretty good if cold.
