Pour is a bright and brassy gold with a large white head. Aroma is crushed grain and honey malt. Flavor is more fresh crushed grain with a little fruity ester left on the tongue after the swallow. Clean, a bit sweet and refreshing.

Gold pour. Corn and malt flavor with plastic palate. Light bodied and light carbonation.

Corn, chemical nose. Mostly clear gold, thin head Corn. Grass and husk finish. Medium body, easy carbonaton.

Always seems a little weird when 3F put out a straightforward, no-frills take on a style. Calumet is a very basic American kölsch, grainy and light, with a slight pale malt sweetness and yeast and almost imperceptible bitterness on the finish. By far the most boring 3F beer I’ve tried.

Clear golden coloured body with a very large, six centimetre tall off-white head that shows trillions of bubbles rising from the bottom - nice! Aroma of yeast, light malt, rice, corn, a hint of resinous hops, some lemons and a bit of bread. Light-bodied; Very mild malt notes with some rice and grain and a very subdued citrus flavour with the faintest amount of hops noticeable. Aftertaste is almost as bland, but some light yeast comes through along with the malt - that’s it, absolutely no complexity. Overall, an average beer at best - and at worst, a subpar beer with not much flavour and one that is WAY overpriced. People should get over some reputation ratings on this one, it simply isn’t a great beer and definitely not worthy of any high marks, period. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from King Richard’s Wine & Spirits in Michigan City, Indiana on 09-September-2015 for US$9,99 sampled at home in Washington on 12-June-2016.

Bottle at home with Yanick - pours gold white head. Nose/taste of bread malt, lemon and peppercorn - medium body.
