Part of a very light flight at Greg’s Taphouse. Light yellow. Tastes light lemon, bread, hint of sourness. Ok

Draft at Smashburger-DIA. Pale yellow golden, skin of head. Grainy, adjunct aroma. Taste comes in sweet, grainy, adjuncts. No sign of biscuit malts or hops

Can at Grubsteak in Estes Park. Pours a clear, pale yellow, with a medium, bubbly, white head. The nose is butterscotch, wet grass, cereals, pine, and white sugar. Sweet, with a light bitterness. Light body, with a crisp, slightly sticky feel. This is a light, refreshing, and clean kölsch.

From May 2007
Purchased at Wilbur's Liquors in Ft Collins.
This pours from 22oz bottle(best by June 2007) a clear straw colour with a small head of foam and looks to be lightly carbonated.
The foam shrinks to a few islands in the middle after a few minutes with a little lacing.
The smell is hoppy and it's nice but it's light on the nose.
The taste has some nice citrus hops up front that is very tasty.
Swishing the beer in my mouth, I'm getting a touch of sweet malt and some bread...yeah...this is very tasty and very smooth drinking. Nice mouthfeel to it and the finish ends up on a slightly bitter note. I *like* this Kolsch and if it was available locally, I'm sure I'd buy it on a regular basis. It would be a great drinker for the upcoming summer season.
Bottom line: I don't have access to many samples of the style but, imho, this is a fine example of the style and it is *very* drinkable. I recommend it.

Crisp clear golden coloured body with a thin, single centimetre tall white head. Aroma of funky cardboardie malt, some light lemons and otherwise a mellow aroma of funk. Light-bodied; Strong malty flavour with a light lemon and metallic flavour and a touch of grass noticeable. Aftertaste is very mild with only the citrus and funky malt coming through. Overall, a pretty forgettable beer, but one that is light and easy to drink. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased at Colorado Liqour Outlet in Colorado Springs, Colorado on 02-January-2016 given to me by my boss - Thanks Jeff!

12oz can lake side at Catamount Reservoir. Can’t tell you how it looks. Smells like a standard kolsch, some metal notes, some mild biscuit, a little butter, some straw. Flavor has lemon, straw, biscuit, butter, a little apricot. Watery finish.

Somewhere: Pours golden with white head. Aroma is lightly applish and bready. Easy to drink. Light malty ale with the characteristics Kolsch aspects. Nothing offensive, but nothing memorable either.

Poured up on tap at Euclid Hall with clear deep good body that exhibits a constant stream of bubbly effervescence that supports a near bright white head. The aroma offers up sweet bready malts, slippery sweetness and a modest level of nearly vague noble hoppiness. The taste is on the sweet side and doesn’t deliver the freshness and crispness associated with the style. I get sweet sugary malts running into some mild earthy to floral hops. Decent but a bit different for the style where in this case to style, for me, is more enjoyable.
