Columbine Kölsch

Taster at the brewpub. Clear, yellow color, with a medium, white head. The nose is honey, rosewater, and hay. Sweet, with just a bit of bitterness. Very light body, with a crisp, clean finish. This is a refreshing, simple, and true to style kolsch. Nice.

From my notes of April 19, 2008

I was in the mood for something light yet tasty so I ordered one, let's see how it fares:

Nice clear golden colour with a 2 finger head of foam. Some lacing and the head retention was good.

The nose is very light but I did get a malty smell but not much more.

The taste had notes of grain and malt and though it was delicate, it was pretty tasty and very smooth and drinkable. It had a lightish mouthfeel and it finished with just a touch of citrus hops that lasted through the aftertaste. This one is really easy to put away and though I only had the 1 glass, I could easily have sessioned on it. Imho, it is pretty true to style. Recommended when you're looking for something on the lighter side.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a hazy yellow gold with small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is grass and lemon zest. Thin body, grass, lemon, wheat, crisp, decent.

Tap @ CooperSmiths Pub & brewing. A stop on grand tour of Fort Collins breweries and bars with Tim, Aaron and Armin, Thanks !! Pours light yellow with a small white head. Aroma of malt, biscuit, grassy hops. Taste is malt, light biscuit, grassy and flowery hops. Decent Kolsch. 250212

Pour is a clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is malty with seom grassyness. Flavor is a super nice bready malt with bitterness at the end. This was a very nice kolsch.
