The Beer Store, Southampton PA ($2.50): Pours light golden with a white head. Aroma is light notes of apple and grain. Taste is slightly sweet, but mostly just really simple and unexciting. I bought it just for a cheap rating and that is what I got. Wouldn’t mind throwing a few of these back on a day I just don’t care though.

tap - Contract brew? Alright. This brew has a very mild, indistinct aroma. The flavor is sweet malt with a little caramel and bready and some mild hops bitterness. It’s light bodied and underwhelming.

Bottle. Light lemony malt aroma. Hazy yellow with no head. Bland grainy malt flavor with a slightly grassy citrus peel bitterness. Light body. The hops flavor in the finish was a little harsh.

Bottle. Pale yellow body with a fizzy, white head, rapidly diminishing. Anemic aroma of toasted grain, grass and a whiff of canned vegetables when you pop the bottle cap. the flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Light body, watery texture and lively carbonation. Crisp and clean, but mainly because it doesn’t have a lot of flavor. On the sweet side as it should be. Kolsch can be delicate, but the better ones have subtle flavors. This one doesn’t.

Bottle. Lemon and barley malt aroma. Medium yellow color with minimal head. Lightly sweet-tart lemon and barley malt flavor with a hint of hops in the finish. Medium body. Not bad - a decent Koelsch.
