Tap at Bluejacket. Zesty bright new school hop tones. Kind of unfair to call this one a Kolsch. Interesting creamy yellow body. Fresh, World Class beer.

Bouteille 75cl courtesy of Travlr, split with Tomaz. Huge content under pressure. Dorée, trouble sur la fin, col très dense et actif. Arôme offre un bouquet excellent fruité tropical venant du Galaxy, note abricot fermenté, citron vert et fruit de la passion. Palais est fruité, je note pas mal de notes vertes rappelant un citronné vert frais, haute effervescence, le tout est sec sur un malté pils, et une possible rondeur de Vienna? Herbacé avec une pointe de fruit de la passion. Sur la fin la présence de lie se fait nettement plus ressentir ajoutant une certaine épaisseur à une bière si légère. Seul bémol de cette bière est que les derniers 25-30 cl sont trop sous l’influence d’une levure trop épaisse.

Very well done for style. Dry hops gives it a good kick, and unlike many kolsxhs this actually tastes like they meant to make a kolsch instead of ending up with one by accident. Pours cloudy light blonde with OK head and lacing. Light piney hops aroma with soft wheat like malt. Some bread yeast. Finishes with light, crisp bitterness. Fizzy carbonation. Tap at brewpub.

On tap at the brewery on opening night. Pours a hazy yellow with some filmy, white head. Nose is a little minty, grass, some dank hops, lemon, faint spruce. Flavor is clean, a little minty, some malt, honey, lemon, vegetal. Clean finish. A little odd. Others liked this, but to me there was a lingering tooth paste character.
