Draft. Tastes like a lager but verging on nonexistent, aroma was stale, Some hops. Awful if really a kolsch.

Eh... it's interesting. Plain but something is making it stand out.

12 oz. can. Pours a hazy yellow with a large fizzy, foamy white head. Aroma of cereal and stale cardboard. Taste is light malt, cereal, hint of fruitiness. Very bland, and doesn't taste much like a Kölsch.

Some paper and a hint of barley but that’s reaching. Pours golden with OK head. Light crisp finish. Nothing going on here, even for a kolsch. Tap at NY Beer Company waiting for a bus.

Draught @ Albion. Pale yellow with small white foamy head that disappeared even before tasting the beer! ash-like aroma, low carbonation, thin watery body, slight honey taste, abrupt finish. Not a remarkable beer at all.

Pours slightly unclear yellow . Scent is a bit hop, but mostly malts . Taste as well has very aromatic malts , together with some hoparoma undertone . Nice and balanced, easy drinkable beer . Not really bitter as well

Tap @ The Stag’s Head, NYC. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are sweet malt, notes of grass and hops. Crisp and clean in taste.

On tap. Pours with a crystal clear blond-yellow hued body with a lasting white head. Aromas are bready, malty, honey, floral and toasty. Flavors are sweet (malty sweet), up front with mild salinity and minerality. Floral, honey, bready. Good. Lively bubbles, dry and light bodied. Really solid as a Blonde Ale (not so as a Kolsch).

On tap. Poured a hazy yellowish gold with a white head that dissipated quickly to the edges but laced slightly. Aroma had a good amount of sweet grains with a light grassy hop note with a bit light citrus. Flavor began with sweet grains and bread with light grassy hops, pine and citrus.
