Keg at Cock Tavern, Hackney. Saccharine aroma. Pale yellow gold. Super thin white bubbly head. Initial bitter with a sour edge. Underlying sweetness with yeast. Light bodied. But has a sold mouthfeel. Average carbonation. Long finish. Fine just doesn't excite me.

Poured up via bright tank at the pub where it exhibits a clear gold body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma offers up lagery yeast notes, a sense of pale malts and then a thin stream of spicy floral hops. The taste delivers an initial brief sweet maltiness that quickly moves into floral to spicy to faintly citrus hop flavor and bitterness. It picks a pleasing mild cracker note as well as a mild lager yeast ester sensation into the finish. Solid kolsch that remains nimble.
