This is Occidental’s homage to the delicious ale of Cologne, Germany. Crisp and dry, it is clean and lager-like, with a pleasant, slightly spicy hop profile supplied by German Perle. Very "sessionable."

Pour is a clear gold with a large fizzy white head. Aroma is a nice wet dough bready malt. Flavor is more of a decent malt bread, maybe a bit thin and watery but the malt used in this beer is nice and clean.

473ml can. (4.5% ABV) Pours a hazy pale gold with a medium, frothy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild aroma of bready malt, lemon and earthy yeast. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, lemon, green apple, grass and metal with a dry, spicy hop finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Not bad.

Pint can picked up at Brewer’s Haven Boise. Pale golden color with a modest white head. Aroma is soft with grains and grass, a little sweet and malty. Missing the hops in the flavor, but a nice sweet grassy vibe and just a little fruitiness from the yeast. Light grains. Drinks really well.

On tap at Stateside Craft, pours a clear yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out sweet cereal malt and lots of dry graininess. Flavour is fairly bland but dry for a kolsch, with grains, cereal malts and breadiness. Decently balanced and drinkable, but boring.
