Sometimes you simply want a beer that’s just delicious. One that’s crisp and flavorful, a subtle balance of malt and hops - a traditional beer. You don’t just want a kölsch, you want a beer that’s Kölschtastic.

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to stange glass.
Appearance: straw yellow color with some transparency about it; two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet grains, floral and grassy hops, light bready malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet and lightly hoppy quality; finishes sweet and malty
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, smooth along the tongue with an ever so slight dryness
Overall: a very nicely done Kolsch I would definitely have again.

From tap at Borefts 2019. Aroma is grainy and a bit bready malts with straw and light fruity notes. Mild bitter, bit thin. Okay Kölsch-style beer.

Keg at CW Family & Friends, Session 1 @Manchester Central, 21/02/20. Clear golden with a decent off white crown. Nose is grass, pale malts, straw, light citric zest. Taste comprises pale malts, grass, cereals, bready notes, herb, lemon and orange tang. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent refreshing logger bier.

Draught @ Cloudwater Friends and Family Fest 2020, Manchester. Pours clear yellow with a small creamy head. Grass and bread. Crisp and dry. Very nice. It blew me. Best ive had outside of Cologne by miles.
