Pour is a crystal clean golden with a fizzy small white head. Aroma is of some soft bready malt with not much hop. Flavor is a sweeter malt with a little sulfur aftertaste. This beer's rating would probably be a lot higher If drank fresh in Cologne b/c you can see it going in the right direction but with some age on it , it kind of gets a bit bland,

Clear piss golden with white head. Sweet malts, grain, wheat, sugarsnaps. Moderate sweet and bitter, big chewy umami. Over medium body and prickly carbonation. Buttery malty feel and very crisp grainy character with bitter hoppy edges. Nice chewy beer.

Bottle at home. Clear piss golden with white head. Sweet malts, grain, wheat, sugarsnaps. Moderate sweet and bitter, big chewy umami. Over medium body and prickly carbonation. Buttery malty feel and very crisp grainy character with bitter hoppy edges. Nice chewy beer. Beer that tastes like beer. And leaves me thirsty for more. --- Beer merged from original tick of Früh Kölsch on 29 May 2018 at 14:02 - Score: 7

12 oz bottle poured, picked up last week in Frankfurt. Clean and clear golden pour, shiny and sparkling. A near absent aroma. Slight bready malts. A cool refreshment. A simple beer to drink as I enjoy about the style. Cool to dabble in some local options in the style. Versions at home can be all over the board.

F: big, white, almost good retention. C: pale gold, clear. A: malty, bit floral, bready, bit grassy. T: malty, bready, floral, bit grassy, for me it is not so easy to recognize average pale lager from good Kölsch style beer but this is almost ok, medium body and carbonation, 0,5l can from REWE Getränkemarkt in Aachen, Germany.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from local 'trinkgut', best before September 2018. Clear, golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy-spicy aroma of grains and some straw. Just a little sweet, moderately bitter, quite grassy-spicy taste of grains and lots of straw, followed by a short, medium bitter, rather grassy-spicy and a bit metallic finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay, but tastes pretty much like a (macro) Pils, another reason why I cannot take casual drinkers seriously which pretend they only like Pils but not Kölsch (or vice versa).
